01
Store the canonical creator identity
Handle, name, email, platform and market should be deduplicated.
02
Track relationship state
Prospect, interested, analytics received, brand review, approved, live, declined and paused should be distinct.
03
Keep commercial terms
Rates, payout model and negotiated exceptions should live with the relationship.
04
Link message history
Operators need context before sending anything new.
05
Measure outcomes
Revenue, approvals and activations matter more than raw row count.
