Pre-engagement diagnostic

Why most TGE
marketing stalls.

Five patterns we see when a Web3 project runs launch marketing and the work stalls before the dump defense window opens. Each row is the FORKOFF fix. Read it before you apply for the engagement.

#Reject reasonAudit detailFORKOFF fix

Row 0101
Reject reasonGeneric KOL roster without per-tier qualification
Audit detail
Project pays a flat-rate KOL roster for launch-week coverage. Tier-A influencers get the same rate as tier-D. Inflated impressions but qualified-view rate sits at roughly 12% post-launch. Treasury burns on vanity reach.
FORKOFF fix
Fix
Per-tier KOL rate card with qualified-view accounting. Tier-A operators paid by qualified-view delivered; tier-B and tier-C paid by clip-completion + per-region view. Average qualified-view rate lifts to 38 to 55% by launch day 7.
Row 0202
Reject reasonNo post-TGE dump defense
Audit detail
Project pours marketing into launch day. Token lists. Price pumps. Then unlock cliffs hit at day 30, market makers exit, and there is no marketing infrastructure to retain holders. Community sentiment collapses within 60 days post-TGE.
FORKOFF fix
Fix
Dump-defense playbook scoped at brief acceptance. Tier-A KOL re-engagement at day 14 and day 30. Community moderation rotation through launch month. Founder weekly AMA cadence locked through day 90. Qualified-holder retention tracked separately from total holder count.
Row 0303
Reject reasonListing coordination disconnected from comms
Audit detail
CEX and DEX listing partners coordinate one timeline. Marketing coordinates another. Listing announcement leaks before the KOL roster is briefed. KOLs find out from the Twitter timeline, not from the project. Launch coverage fragments.
FORKOFF fix
Fix
Single launch-week war room. Listing-partner timeline merged with the KOL coordination calendar. Per-tier brief lands 72 hours before listing announce. Trading-pair specific clips queued for first-hour volume capture. Documented in the audit ledger.
Row 0404
Reject reasonNo qualified-view accounting on launch clips
Audit detail
Launch clip campaign reports raw view counts: 5M views on TGE day. Project celebrates. Wallet-connect data shows only 8K unique addresses connected during the same window. The 5M was clip-loop inflation, bot traffic, and sub-1-second swipes counted by the platform but not by the brand.
FORKOFF fix
Fix
CPQV (cost per qualified view) accounting on every launch clip. Watch-time threshold per platform. Real-device + sanctioned-region check. The audit ledger shows reason-codes per filtered view (bot, sub-1-second, geo-mismatch). Treasury sees what actually got watched.
Row 0505
Reject reasonSanctioned-region exclusions retrofit after launch
Audit detail
Project launches with broad clip distribution. Some clips reach jurisdictions where the token offering is non-compliant. Compliance team flags 30 days later. Project either pulls the campaign (wasted spend) or absorbs legal exposure.
FORKOFF fix
Fix
Sanctioned-region exclusions locked at brief acceptance. KOL routing matched to the project's jurisdiction lockfile. Per-region filtering verified in the qualification engine before payout. Ledger shows per-region delivery with reason codes on exclusion.

Not the right fit

×Pure NFT collection launches (different buyer + different distribution mechanic)
×Memecoin launches (FORKOFF has not built the memecoin playbook)
×Jurisdiction-locked launches where comms are restricted by SEC consent or similar
×Pre-product brands shopping for marketing magic without tokenomics or product
×Operators unwilling to publish weekly receipt with reason-coded filtering
