## Entity
- Product of: LX AI Micro-SaaS Factory
- Product site: https://endorseprecheck.lxsaihub.com/
- Hub: https://lxsaihub.com/tools/endorseprecheck.html

## Positioning
- Product name: EndorsePrecheck
- One-line: Pre-check a pasted sponsored, review or affiliate post against the published FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255); get a scored, severity-ranked pre-check report — disclosure presence, wording clarity, above-the-fold placement, material-connection specificity — in 60 seconds.
- Honesty: Heuristic pre-check — not an endorsement-disclosure certification or legal advice. No material-relationship verification, account or platform connection, or platform-policy measurement performed. Whether a claimed relationship is real depends on your own contracts and dashboards; challenge outcomes depend on regulators and platforms.

## Checks
- Disclosure presence — is there any clear "paid partnership" / "#ad" / "I earn a commission" signal at all, or only vague relationship words like "ambassador" / "partner" / "collab" (16 CFR 255.5 disclosure of material connections; 255.1 general considerations)
- Disclosure clarity — a bare lowercase "ad" or slang like "sp" / "collab" flagged against the guides' own "too vague" examples; "#ad" is matched as a standalone hashtag token, so "#adweather" is never a false hit (16 CFR 255.1 / 255.2)
- Placement — the first clear disclosure token measured against the platform's feed fold (Instagram ~125, TikTok / YouTube ~100, text-social ~280 characters); long-form surfaces skip the fold math and say so, never guessing a position
- Material-connection specificity — an affiliate link or "link in bio" CTA with no commission wording; a declared "paid" connection contradicted by copy that says "for free"
- Claims & platform-tool advisories — quantified results, health or income wording, and paid-partnership toggles, labelled ADVISORY and never scored; the tool never verifies a real relationship or connects to accounts, contracts, dashboards or platform labels

- Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), via the Cornell LII public mirror: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/16/part-255

- Note: the eCFR canonical `/current/*` pages 302-redirect to a bot-unblock interstitial (HTTP 200 but the body is the block page, not the regulation), and ftc.gov returned 403, and govinfo XML served a false-200 with no endorsement text from this build's network. Part 255 is therefore cited via the LII mirror above; those hosts are excluded until re-verified (see lib/rules/SOURCES.md). Platform-specific and non-US disclosure regimes are advisories only.

## FAQ
Q1. What is EndorsePrecheck?
A1. A micro SaaS for pre-publish endorsement-disclosure checks: paste the exact sponsored / review / affiliate post, get quoted findings by severity, a 0-100 disclosure-risk score, placement measured against the platform fold, and a fix checklist before you hit publish.
Q2. Will a high score make my post legally compliant?
A2. No. Whether a disclosure is truly "clear and conspicuous" depends on the real post, its surface and your jurisdiction, and on whether a claimed relationship is real — records the scan cannot see. It is a heads-up, not a certification.
Q3. Does it verify my actual relationship or connect to my accounts or platform labels?
A3. No — deliberately not. It checks only the text you paste; a real connection lives in your contracts, affiliate dashboards and platform settings. No account connection, no platform-label check, no enforcement prediction.
Q4. Price?
A4. Free fair-use demo; Pro from $19/mo when listed on Waffo.
