Checklist

Creator review checklist

Review creator fit and available evidence consistently before outreach.

Use this when

Use this after search produces candidates and before approving anyone for outreach.

You will leave with

You will leave with a recorded fit decision, visible evidence, unresolved questions, and a clear approve, hold, or stop outcome.

Go to the checklist

Reusable artifact / 07 checks

Record one state and its evidence

For every check, use exactly one state: CONFIRMED, UNCLEAR, or DOES NOT FIT. Record the visible evidence or unresolved question beside the state. Do not infer sensitive or demographic attributes from a creator’s appearance, name, or assumed identity.

CheckReview questionStateEvidence or unresolved question
Brief alignmentDoes the available evidence match the brief’s platform, language, market, creator-profile, and exclusion criteria?
  • CONFIRMED
  • UNCLEAR
  • DOES NOT FIT
Audience relevanceWhat visible content or audience context supports relevance to the intended audience, and what remains unknown?
  • CONFIRMED
  • UNCLEAR
  • DOES NOT FIT
Content relevanceDoes the creator repeatedly cover a subject, format, or use case that can make the campaign context relevant?
  • CONFIRMED
  • UNCLEAR
  • DOES NOT FIT
Language and market contextCan the required language and market context be reviewed confidently, or is qualified review still needed?
  • CONFIRMED
  • UNCLEAR
  • DOES NOT FIT
Evidence qualityAre observations linked to visible sources, separated from interpretation, and sufficient for each material criterion?
  • CONFIRMED
  • UNCLEAR
  • DOES NOT FIT
Material risksDoes visible content conflict with an explicit campaign exclusion or create an unresolved issue that must be reviewed before contact?
  • CONFIRMED
  • UNCLEAR
  • DOES NOT FIT
Outreach readinessCan the first message state a specific, truthful reason for contact and a clear intended ask without assuming interest or results?
  • CONFIRMED
  • UNCLEAR
  • DOES NOT FIT

Fictional example

FICTIONAL EXAMPLE — Candidate A for the refillable water-bottle brief

This example is not a real creator assessment, campaign result, endorsement, or performance prediction.

CheckStateEvidence or unresolved question
Brief alignmentCONFIRMEDThe fictional candidate publishes Spanish TikTok and Instagram content about campus commuting and everyday carry in the intended market context.
Audience relevanceUNCLEARComments discuss commuting routines, but the available example does not establish whether the intended audience is consistently present.
Content relevanceCONFIRMEDReusable daily items and commute demonstrations appear repeatedly in the fictional content sample.
Language and market contextCONFIRMEDThe fictional sample is in Spanish and contains visible Mexico-specific commute context.
Evidence qualityUNCLEARRelevant content is visible, but prior sponsored-content patterns have not yet been reviewed.
Material risksCONFIRMEDNo conflict with the fictional brief’s explicit exclusions appears in the reviewed sample.
Outreach readinessUNCLEARA relevant reason for contact exists, but the unresolved audience and sponsored-content questions should be reviewed first.

Example outcome: HOLD FOR CLARIFICATION

LetsInflu method

Why the three states stay separate

Confirmed evidence, unresolved questions, and explicit conflicts lead to different next decisions. Combining them into one score can hide why a candidate should move, pause, or stop.

Confirmed

Visible evidence supports the material criterion.

Unclear

A question needs more evidence or qualified review.

Does not fit

Visible evidence conflicts with a material condition.

Common mistakes

Do not convert uncertainty into approval

  • Do not treat follower count as proof of audience relevance.
  • Do not infer language, location, or identity from a name or appearance.
  • Do not record an interpretation without the visible observation that supports it.
  • Do not move to outreach while a material criterion remains unresolved.

Limitations and source basis

A human review aid, not certification

The checklist supports human review and does not certify brand safety or guarantee performance. This is a LetsInflu-authored review method, not an independent industry standard.
