Drop a video file (MP4, MOV, raw export, recorded session) and FORKOFF re-cuts the source into YouTube Shorts vertical cuts tuned for shelf-velocity. The brief locks shelf-eligibility rules, the qualification ledger settles per qualified Shorts view at $0.003 CPQV.
Agencies sell effort. Marketplaces sell volume. FORKOFF sells qualified outcomes.
Shelf-velocity feedback
Strategist intakes any source-video format (MP4, MOV, raw camera, screen capture, recorded session), audits source-quality and shelf-eligibility risk, and locks the brief at acceptance: shelf watch-time gate, music-licensing rules, sponsored-segment disclosure, audience-geo policy. Sandbox tier ($500 or $5K) selected at sign-off.
Vetted Shorts clippers picked on prior shelf-velocity history, mute-autoplay hook craft, and source-format match. Open-marketplace self-tags ignored. routing happens against the FORKOFF roster with deprioritisation on past policy breaks.
Each Shorts shelf view passes the four-stage gate: watch-completion (10 to 15 seconds), geo, policy, traffic validity. Reason codes log filtered views. Audit ledger exports CSV/JSON, settles weekly. Per-source-asset roll-up shows which raw video files pulled the highest qualification rate.
Not every long-form moment converts. The clipper roster reads the source timeline for these beat types and routes against the destination surface with the strongest qualification curve.
