Model conversation

Compass assistant

Based on your brief I've drafted a scoring model weighted towards brand compatibility and audience relevance, with brand safety treated as a gating criterion rather than a simple score. Anything scoring below 70 on brand safety will be excluded from the recommended shortlist regardless of overall score. I'll specifically watch for: active alcohol, gambling or vaping partnerships; undisclosed advertising; inorganic follower growth; and sustained political commentary. Shall I lock this in?

Scoring criteria

Total 100%
  • Brand compatibility

    25%

    How naturally the creator's existing content, tone and aesthetic sit alongside the brand.

  • Audience relevance

    20%

    Overlap between the creator's actual audience and the campaign's target demographic and geography.

  • Content quality

    15%

    Craft, consistency and production standard across the scanned period.

  • Engagement authenticity

    15%

    Genuine engagement versus inorganic growth, pods or purchased audience.

  • Brand safety

    15%

    Controversy, profanity, excluded categories (alcohol, gambling, vaping) and disclosure compliance.

  • Values alignment

    10%

    Alignment with the client's stated public positions and sustainability commitments.

Things to watch out for

  • Active alcohol, gambling or vaping partnerships
  • Undisclosed advertising (ASA compliance)
  • Inorganic follower growth or engagement pods
  • Sustained political commentary
  • Unsubstantiated health or sustainability claims
  • Category conflicts inside an exclusivity window
Brand safety is a gate, not just a score. Anything below 70 is excluded from the recommended 6 and reported separately with evidence.
