Key Takeaways
- Post copy vs published endorsement-guide factors, severity-ranked.
- Actionable fix checklist — never a silent rewrite or auto-publish.
- Honesty: a heuristic pre-check — not an endorsement-disclosure certification.
Post copy first. Endorsement-guide factors next.
Decision-support endorsement-disclosure ranks — not a certification and not a legal audit.
EndorsePrecheck — definition
EndorsePrecheck pre-checks sponsored, review and affiliate posts against the endorsement-disclosure patterns 16 CFR Part 255 (the FTC Endorsement Guides) describes — a missing material-connection disclosure, wording too vague to count, a disclosure buried below the platform fold, an unexplained affiliate link, and copy that understates the deal you actually made — returning a scored, severity-ranked report with concrete edits before the post goes in front of regulators, platforms and audiences.
What this is NOT
- Not an endorsement-disclosure certification, account connector, or approval guarantee.
- Not a relationship verifier — whether a material connection is real is an advisory checklist item, never looked up.
- Not a substitute for legal review of FTC, ASA or consumer-law obligations.
Controller / Processor — When packs mention privacy roles, we use GDPR Art.4 labels: Controller and Processor (decision-support only).
Post written. Disclosure challenged.
No disclosure at all
A sponsored post that never names the paid relationship is the exact pattern 16 CFR 255.1 targets — and readers and platforms screenshot it.
Wording too vague to count
An "ambassador" or "collab" label is what the guides call out as too vague to disclose a material connection — it reads as friendship, not payment.
"#ad" buried below the fold
A disclosure past the ~125-character Instagram fold (or lost in a hashtag pile) is invisible unless the reader taps "more" — the guides ask for conspicuous placement.
Affiliate link, no commission sentence
A "link in bio" that never says you earn on purchases hides the material connection — Part 255 treats commission as a connection you must disclose.

Your questions, answered
What does EndorsePrecheck check?
A scored, severity-ranked pre-check of one pasted sponsored, review or affiliate post against the endorsement-disclosure patterns the FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) describe — decision-support drafts, never a legal opinion.
Does a good score mean my post is compliant?
No. Adequacy depends on the real post, its context, the platform surface and your jurisdiction — whether a material connection exists, and whether a disclosure is truly clear and conspicuous, lives outside what any text checker can see. EndorsePrecheck only flags the published factors present in the copy you paste.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Self-serve plans cancel anytime; access continues until period end.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Start with email signup or Demo mode in the studio, then upgrade when ready.
Do I need my own ChatGPT / OpenAI subscription?
No for Free/Pro. AI runs are included in your plan (fair use) via our platform key. Enterprise can optionally bring your own OpenAI key (BYOK) — configure it at /settings (key stays server-side only).
What is Fair Use / what if I hit the AI limit?
Free includes 3 AI checks/day and 15/month. Pro includes 40/day and 300/month. At the fair-use limit the studio returns a clear QUOTA_EXCEEDED notice with the reset time — the Rule-based demo keeps working; Enterprise BYOK covers heavier volume.
Is checkout secure?
Payments are processed by Waffo Pancake (merchant of record).
What happens after I pay?
You receive access confirmation; fulfillment is tracked via webhook + order logs.

More questions
What inputs?
Post copy (the exact published text), post type, platform, your material connection, and strictness.
Disclosure-law guarantee?
No. Heuristic pre-check — not an endorsement-disclosure certification and not legal advice.
What comes back?
Ranked findings with quoted evidence, where your disclosure lands against the platform fold, and a fix checklist — always review.
Demo or live?
Demo is labelled; live wording needs a configured AI key.
Who is it for?
Creators, influencers and brand teams publishing sponsored posts, reviews and affiliate content.
Primary sources?
Your pasted post copy and the published FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255).
Does it verify my relationship or contracts?
No — deliberately not. It never connects to your accounts or brand contracts; whether a material connection is real appears as an advisory checklist item only.
Does it write my disclosure for me?
No. It judges only the post you paste and suggests concrete fixes; you still write and publish.
How it compares
| Dimension | Manual | EndorsePrecheck |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Hours reading Endorsement-Guide explainers | Seconds per post draft |
| Consistency | Varies by reviewer memory | Same endorsement-guide factors every run |
| Output | Free-form checklist notes | Structured pre-check report |
| Best for | Final sign-off | Pre-flight QA per campaign draft |
When not to use: Skip it when you need a lawyer’s opinion on FTC/ASA/consumer-law exposure, verification that a material connection is real, platform ad-policy approval, or automated posting. This only pre-checks the post copy you paste.
