What's actually included in each tier?

Each tier lists its deliverables above. Lite is a drop-in presence for a single founder; Standard is a full narrative engine with a dedicated producer; Full adds guerrilla + press + private dinner. We'll walk you through the line-by-line on the intake call.

Can we bring our own content team?

Yes. We can slot into an existing team as producers, or take the full stack end-to-end. Whatever gets the best output.

Who owns the footage?

You do. Raw footage, edits, clips, and masters all owned by you. We keep a license to use snippets for case studies, nothing more.

What if we're a smaller founder?

We work with pre-seed through growth-stage. For smaller founders, the Lite tier is built to get you a distribution presence without a retainer commitment.

Refunds / cancellation?

No long-term contracts. Engagements run sprint-to-sprint. Cancel anytime before the next sprint kicks off.

How is FORKOFF different from a podcast production company?

Most podcast production companies stop at the edit. FORKOFF runs the full motion: narrative spine, production, clip cadence (cross-posted to X / TikTok / Reels / Shorts), audit ledger on qualified-view performance. Production alone produces a show; the FORKOFF stack produces compounding recall.

How does the clipping cadence pair with the podcast?

Every recorded podcast feeds the clipping pipeline at clips.forkoff.xyz. One 60-minute episode produces 8-12 cross-platform clips (X / TikTok / Reels / Shorts), each tracked in the qualified-view ledger at $0.003 CPQV. The podcast IS the long-form moment that makes the clipping cadence work.

Does FORKOFF run podcast activations in specific cities?

Yes. City-specific podcast activation hubs cover the major conference markets. Hong Kong and Seoul are two of the most active Asia-Pacific anchor cities on the FORKOFF event calendar. See the Hong Kong podcast page at /services/podcast/hong-kong and the Seoul podcast page at /services/podcast/seoul for city-specific ICP intel and activation cadences.

Diagnostic ledger · 5 reasons founder shows stall

Why most podcasts
never compound.

Five fail patterns we audit out of every founder show before week 1. Each row reads as it would in our weekly review log: rejection code, reason, FORKOFF fix.

fk_audit · podcast_reject_log.csv

#Reject reasonAudit detailFORKOFF fix

ROW01
Reject reasonPOST_AND_PRAY
Audit detail
Long-form ships, then the team stops. No clipping cadence, no cross-platform repurpose, no audit on what the episode actually moved.
FORKOFF fix
Fix
8-12 cross-platform clips per episode + paid amplification on the highest-signal cuts. Distribution is the deliverable, not the after-thought.
ROW02
Reject reasonDEATH_AT_48H
Audit detail
Web3 + AI conversations compound for 24-48 hours then get buried. Without short-form cuts pushed to X / TikTok / Reels / Shorts the same week, the recording is sunk cost.
FORKOFF fix
Fix
Clip + format-adapt + ship inside 7 days of record. Long-form pushed to RSS + Apple + Spotify + YouTube on day 1.
ROW03
Reject reasonNO_NARRATIVE_SPINE
Audit detail
Guest selection is random, not strategic. Episode arcs drift. By month three the show has 12 episodes that don't ladder into a single buyer narrative.
FORKOFF fix
Fix
Week-1 narrative architecture. Season arc + ICP map + guest curation by buyer adjacency, signed off before the camera turns on.
ROW04
Reject reasonNO_CONVERSION_PATH
Audit detail
Founders show up on the mic with no pipeline plan. No allocator follow-up, no buyer hand-off, no attribution back to dealflow. Audience grows; the funnel doesn't.
FORKOFF fix
Fix
Conversion + dealflow attribution wired from week 1. Every episode ends in a documented hand-off path, tracked weekly.
ROW05
Reject reasonNO_AUDIT_LEDGER
Audit detail
Reach gets reported as raw plays + impressions. No qualified-view bench, no $-per-view receipt. Renewal conversations stall on vibes instead of numbers.
FORKOFF fix
Fix
$0.003 CPQV bench + weekly ledger + renewal-grade exportable receipts. Same audit ledger we run for clipping, on every podcast.

without paying for a passive show.

Who you are

›AI startup founder launching a thought-leadership podcast (CEO + technical co-founder format)
›Web3 protocol team running a recurring founder podcast tied to ecosystem milestones
›Post-Series-A team that already produces content but lacks a clipping cadence to compound it
›Founder who wants outcome-priced, audit-ledger-tracked podcast distribution. Not retainer guesswork.

What FORKOFF delivers

›Recorded episode + full edit + 8-12 cross-platform clips per recording (X / TikTok / Reels / Shorts)
›Founder narrative spine. Pre-call prep, post-edit polish, distribution cadence. Operator-grade.
›Audit ledger on every qualified view. $0.003 CPQV bench, calibrated against 200+ FORKOFF campaigns.
›Asset ownership stays with you. Raw + edits + clips + masters. We license snippets for case studies, nothing more.

Not the right fit

×Pre-product teams shopping for a narrative. The podcast needs a real product to anchor on.
×Founders who want a passive ghost-produced show without showing up on camera weekly.
×Brands that already have a fully-staffed in-house podcast team and only want bolt-on edits.
×Anyone expecting a viral hit in 30 days. The FORKOFF podcast model compounds across a 90-day cycle.
