03 · How it works

Brief to live in three steps.

▸ Step 01

Brief

Show, format, target geos, watch-time threshold per platform, brand-safety rules locked in writing. Sanctioned-region exclusions confirmed at acceptance.

▸ Step 02

Vetted clipper routing

Clippers matched by geography, niche, and prior qualification rate against similar briefs. Self-tagged geo is not trusted; routing happens at acceptance.

▸ Step 03

Qualify, ledger, settle

Every view passes watch-time, policy, geo, and traffic-validity checks. Filtered traffic logged with reason code. CSV/JSON export to finance and ops.

Why Protocol Launch Clipping Campaigns prices on qualified views.

Protocol launches are scrutinized by treasury committees, listing partners, and audit firms. The qualified-view ledger gives the marketing spend the same level of paper trail the smart-contract audit produces. The four-stage qualification engine (watch-time, policy, geo, traffic-validity) is the wedge. Most operators in this space hand the brand a dashboard count and treat the qualification denominator as private. FORKOFF ships the denominator into the contract: per-view reason codes, CPQV pricing on the views that cleared the brief, filtered traffic logged but never billed. The audit ledger reconciles against MMP records (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch) for consumer-app clients and against treasury reporting for web3 clients. Outcome-priced means you pay for the qualified denominator, not for impressions an ad-ops cleanup pass would later strip.

Sample sandbox: Protocol Launch Clipping Campaigns qualified at scale.

▸ FORKOFF case archive

An anonymized FORKOFF Protocol Launch Clipping Campaigns sandbox campaign cleared 1.6M qualified views at $0.003 CPQV. The qualification engine logged ~37% of raw playback as filtered (sub-watch-time, geo-mismatch, sanctioned-region, or traffic-validity flagged) and excluded that volume from billing. Brand reconciled per-view ledger against MMP records the same week. Specific brand name redacted under NDA. The case structure is representative of the sandbox tier the strategist locks at brief acceptance.

Who this is for. Who it isn't.

▸ Best fit for
  • Brands buying outcomes, not raw impressions
  • Teams without internal qualification capacity

  • Founder-led, narrative, and managed creative formats
▸ Not a fit for
  • Solo clippers editing their own back catalog (use a DIY tool)

08 · FAQ

Frequently asked

What is a qualified view?

A view that passes four checks set by the campaign brief: watch duration, policy compliance, geo consistency, and traffic validity. If any layer rejects it, the view is logged with a reason code and excluded from both spend and payout.

Do you handle sanctioned-geo exclusions for protocol launches?

Yes. The qualification engine filters by geo on a per-view basis. Excluded regions are configured at brief acceptance and locked in writing. Any view from a sanctioned geo drops with reason code geo_excluded and isn't billed.

Can the ledger pass treasury and audit-firm review?

The CSV/JSON export is append-only with per-view reason codes. It's been used by brand-side legal and audit teams for treasury reporting. Pipes into Snowflake, BigQuery, or your finance attribution stack.

How does FORKOFF pricing work?

Brands pay $0.003 per qualified view (CPQV). Filtered traffic is logged with a reason code and excluded from spend. A sandbox runs for 14 days, and larger campaigns are scoped per brief at intake.

How fast does a brand campaign go live?

Most campaigns go live within 24-48 hours of brief acceptance. A first sandbox campaign typically clears in 24h; larger campaigns are scoped per brief at intake.

How is this different from running a KOL deal?

Different denominator. KOL deals are priced per follower or per post. FORKOFF prices per qualified view, with watch-time + traffic + geo gating. The ledger ties spend to outcomes a treasury committee can defend.

Can I export the qualification ledger?

Yes. Every campaign produces an audit-ready CSV/JSON export with per-view reason codes. Used by brand-side legal, finance, and treasury teams.
