Creator and commerce decision
FindClout
A small technical team can build a pilot that routes campaigns to creators, watermarks assets, and bills on CPM, but replicating FindClout's view-authenticity systems, large vetted inventory, and delivery guarantees would be difficult without their proprietary data, models, and existing creator relationships.

No open-source build does this yet
Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.
What a replacement has to do
- Create a campaign record, select creators from a vetted list, generate watermarked meme assets, distribute campaign messages to creators (Telegram/batch), and collect view/delivery reports to bill on CPM.
What it still won’t have
- Large-scale, production-grade view-authenticity detection trained on proprietary billions-of-views data
- Hundreds of pre-vetted creator relationships and inventory curated by the vendor
- Guaranteed delivery SLAs, campaign guarantees and enterprise-level exclusivity
- 24/7 human review and brand-safety moderation workflow at scale
What remains hard
- Proprietary data
We've trained detection systems on billions of views.
- Brand trust
Our retention speaks for itself
- Marketplace liquidity
Hundreds of vetted creator pages.

Runnable build prompt
Build a lean programmatic creator-placement pilot using Next.js (React) frontend, Node.js (Express) API, Postgres for storage, Sharp/FFmpeg for image/video watermarking, a Telegram bot for creator dispatch, and Stripe for billing. Core features in scope: admin UI to register creators and campaigns, campaign editor (upload creative, set watermark/captions, targeting rules), processing pipeline to generate watermarked variants, Telegram-based dispatch and creator confirmation flow, impression reporting endpoint and simple CPM billing/invoice generation, basic reporting dashboard. Out of scope: training detection models on proprietary view logs, large-scale creator vetting or SLA guarantees, and advanced AI/human moderation at scale. Include error handling, input validation, background job retries for dispatch, unit and integration tests, Dockerfiles, and a deployment guide for a single DigitalOcean droplet or small Heroku/AWS Elastic Beanstalk stack.

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
