# Creator partnership operating system (original)
This maps public stages, not Monetise's private teaching or creator database: https://www.monetise.com/archives/misc/offer-2.

## 1 FIND (research, permission-free)
Identify one niche of public educational creators, preferably 5k–100k audience size as a **test heuristic**, not proof of profitability. Search openly accessible profiles. Log date, profile URL, follower range where visible, engagement quality, customer pain, current offers, contact route, authenticity and IP risks. Don't scrape private data, infer private contact info, or falsely claim existing brand relationships. Score using `creator-opportunity-scout` and `audience-demand-miner`. Prospect list is **self-researched**, never the proprietary pre-vetted Monetise list.

## 2 REACH (draft, seek approval)
Create an evidence-backed one-page monetization gameplan for one creator using `creator-monetisation-gameplan`. Draft a personalized, truthful permission-based intro. Never send/submit/call without the user's approval. No implied partnerships, guaranteed income, fabricated performance or mass unsolicited messaging.

## 3 DEVELOP (after consent and rights)
Creator explicitly confirms target audience, original problem, experience, revenue and assets, legal rights to use content, brand, likeness, testimonial, mailing list or files. Written scope and terms before using their material. `synthesis-six-stage-product-map`, `product-charter-architect`, `product-builder` build a narrow MVP; subject-matter accuracy verified by creator; clear IP/license ownership. Don't claim an AI generated outline is a completed paid product.

## 4 PROMOTE (after approval and prerequisites)
`fourteen-day-launch` builds a 14-day creator-approved sequence across permitted channels; only creator or authorized owner publishes. Track unique visits, opt-ins, questions, paid orders, refunds, support, attribution and actual payout. Pilot criteria and stop-loss defined before any spend.

## Deal & economics
Use `partner-deal-and-rights` and `creator-revshare-economics` to model scenarios; no assumed standard commission. Revenue share applies to explicitly defined net receipts and can be 0 if no sales. Verify payout, age, contract capacity, tax and platform eligibility with current official sources. Do not commit the user to delivery >5 hours/week.

## End
Produce prospect hypothesis, tailored draft gameplan, creator permission checklist, time budget, clear decision and up to 3 actions. No outreach or publication without approval.
