04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Set a narrow, authorized scope

Document the purpose, permitted sources, allowed records, audience, and accountable commerce editor. Do not extend access beyond that scope.

Limit and protect retained information

Collect only what affiliate product posts requires. Restrict access, set a retention period, and keep credentials and private details out of broad messages or logs.

Define source and exception checks

Set checks for stale, incomplete, conflicting, or uncertain inputs. Preserve the original evidence and provide a clear human handoff when the result cannot be verified.

Keep release and decisions human-approved

Verify facts at publication time, respect image and trademark rights, disclose commissions clearly, follow channel rules, and require approval before the post goes live. A commerce editor must approve any external, consequential, or hard-to-reverse action.
