Risk Score Breakdown
Revenue appears less concentrated, pending direct verification.
Traffic or acquisition depends on channels that can move quickly.
Listing claims need direct platform access before pricing makes sense.
YouTube transfer has account, vendor, or platform handoff risk.
A single platform can materially change revenue after purchase.
Retention concern is moderate relative to the asset type.
Red Flags
- Core claims are not yet backed by direct, read-only source access.
- Traffic or demand may be recent, paid, or platform-driven rather than durable.
- Revenue depends heavily on a platform whose rules the buyer does not control.
- Missing proof: Channel policy strike history.
- Missing proof: RPM by content type.
Missing Evidence
- Channel policy strike history
- RPM by content type

Seller Questions

- What is the RPM split across shorts, long-form, and sponsorships?
- Which videos drive the majority of revenue and views?

Verification Checklist
