The Challenge

Affiliate ecosystems move fast. Risk moves faster.

Unmonitored affiliate traffic creates compounding exposure across claims, creatives, and customer experience — often invisible until disputes surface.

  • Unauthorized celebrity or expert endorsements
  • AI-generated or deepfake promotional content
  • Misleading health, financial or product claims
  • Confusing pricing and checkout expectations
  • Aggressive upsell flows and incentive-based VSLs
  • Customer experience patterns that increase refunds and chargebacks
