search_claims
Search operator-backed claims on creator pricing, sourcing, and app growth, each with verbatim quotes and source links. Returns explicit no-coverage notice when evidence is thin.
Instructions
Search receipt-backed claims from operators who publicly describe how they run creator programs, UGC, influencer buys and app growth. Use it for how to price a creator, where to source them, how to brief them, what to test, what failed. Every result carries a verbatim quote and a working permalink to the author. Returns an explicit no-coverage notice when the corpus does not address the question, which you should relay rather than filling the gap.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| rail | No | THE MOST IMPORTANT FILTER FOR ANY RATE QUESTION. The word CPM names four unrelated economies here and pooling them inverts the answer. BUY is a brand or agency paying a creator per 1,000 delivered, and is the only set comparable to what a brand would pay. PLAT is a PLATFORM paying a creator out of ad revenue (YouTube AdSense RPM, TikTok Creator Fund, Reels bonuses), a different market entirely, and it is roughly a third of all rate-bearing claims. ADBENCH is what Meta or programmatic ads cost per 1,000. REV is revenue earned per 1,000, a ceiling on what you can afford to pay. Pass rail:'BUY' whenever you are asking what someone pays a creator. | |
| limit | No | Default 12, capped at 50 | |
| niche | No | Which harvest sweep the evidence came from. This is PROVENANCE, not a content vertical: 'micro-pricing' is the rate and CPM sweep, not a finance sweep, and a claim about any vertical can sit in any slice. 'adjacent-niche' is the fintech, investing, edtech and gaming sweep. 'app-scaling' is the YouTube long-form sweep. 'creator-ops' and 'operator-timeline' are general creator-program evidence drawn mostly from health, ecommerce and beauty. | |
| query | Yes | Natural language or keywords | |
| topic | No | Restrict to one topic tag, e.g. pricing, sourcing, hooks-and-scripting | |
| buy_type | No | Within the BUY rail, what kind of buy. This moves the median by more than an order of magnitude, so a figure blended across buy types is meaningless. KOL is one sponsored post from an existing audience, priced as a fee. PROGRAM is a managed roster of briefed creators paid a set rate per thousand. CLIP is an open per-1,000 bounty on clips, usually capped per post. AMPLIFY is whitelisting or spark ads. AGENCY is an intermediary's pass-through price inclusive of margin. | |
| operator | No | Restrict to one handle, without the @ | |
| claim_type | No |
