Learn · Apply

Core Squared controls

  • Flame: help the audience before monetizing attention.
  • Rock: one problem, selection standard and trust boundary.
  • Cycle: verify, publish, monitor, update, review and stop.
  • House: links, terms, disclosures, evidence, metrics and archives.
  • Operator: authority for offers, claims, updates and removal.

Governance requirements

  1. Genuine-use and selection-evidence register.
  2. Prominent disclosure approved for each channel.
  3. Current price, availability, term and claim review dates.
  4. Separation of internal offers and external referrals.
  5. Tracked-link inventory and destination verification.
  6. Trust-risk, complaint and stop-rule process.
  7. Revenue in CAD separated from clicks and estimated commissions.

AI audits

AUDIT 1 — RELEVANCE Test whether each offer directly supports the defined problem. Flag commission-led or weakly related selections.
AUDIT 2 — DISCLOSURE Compare disclosure placement and wording across assets. Flag ambiguity without declaring legal compliance.
AUDIT 3 — CLAIM FRESHNESS List claims, prices, specifications and availability statements requiring current human verification.
AUDIT 4 — TRUST RISK Identify where the campaign overstates experience, hides limitations or crowds out a better no-purchase option.
AUDIT 5 — METRIC QUALITY Separate valid clicks, qualifying actions, confirmed revenue, refunds, internal conversions and tracking gaps.

Final gate

  • Every recommendation has evidence and limits.
  • Disclosure is visible and channel-specific.
  • Claims and links have owners and review dates.
  • Campaign value survives without purchase.
  • Stop rules protect audience trust.
  • Milestone 19 receives only collaboration signals supported by real relationships.
