## About

# Affiliate Program Planner

Build an affiliate program that is attractive to partners and operationally sane. Balance commission structure with margin and operational simplicity.

## Quick Reference

**Key Insight:** Commission should reflect margins and partner effort. Recruitment and enablement matter as much as the rate. Tracking rules must be explicit.

## When to Activate

Activate when the user asks to:
- launch or improve an affiliate program
- plan commission structure
- design recruitment and enablement
- set tracking and attribution rules

## Workflow

### Step 1: Define Context

Identify:
- product and margin
- partner type (creators, agencies, publishers, customers)
- program goal

### Step 2: Program Components

Reference [references/program-components.md](./references/program-components.md):

**Commission Rate** – Reflect margins, sales cycle, partner effort

**Payout Cadence** – Monthly or quarterly; clarity matters

**Recruitment** – Define which partner types the program is built for

**Enablement Assets** – Messaging, landing pages, brand rules, CTAs

**Tracking** – Make attribution rules explicit

### Step 3: Structure Design

Design:
- commission tiers or flat rate
- cookie or attribution window
- payout timing and minimums
- eligibility rules

### Step 4: Enablement Plan

Define:
- core messaging and positioning
- landing pages and assets
- brand and compliance rules
- CTA and link structure

### Step 5: Output Structure

Produce:
- program overview and positioning
- commission and payout structure
- recruitment strategy
- enablement asset list
- tracking and attribution rules

## Quality Gates

Before finalizing, verify:
- [ ] Commission aligns with margin
- [ ] Partner types are clear
- [ ] Enablement is sufficient
- [ ] Tracking rules are explicit
