Score a partner before you ever commit a seed.
The Affiliate Vetter checks a partner's site for risk signals — domain age, WHOIS and DNS history, and landing-page behavior — before you plant a single seed into their funnel. It's a first filter, not a replacement for monitoring.
Why vet before you seed
A seed tells you what a partner does with a lead after they have it. The Vetter tells you something earlier: whether the partner's own site looks like the kind of operation that mishandles data in the first place. Run it on a new affiliate before committing inventory, and you catch the riskiest partners before they ever touch a real seed.
It's a filter, not a verdict — a low score means look closer, not necessarily walk away.
A score around 59 is a common point teams use to hold a partner out of rotation pending a closer look.
What goes into the score
Domain age
A domain registered weeks ago carries more risk than one with years of history. Age alone isn't disqualifying, but it shifts the threshold for everything else.
WHOIS & DNS history
Privacy-shielded registrants, recent registrar changes, and a thin DNS history are the same signals a security team would check manually — just automated.
Landing-page behavior
Checks for disclosed data-use terms, consent language, and whether the page behaves the way its stated purpose implies.
The scoring model is AI-generated and still being tuned — domain age may currently be weighted more heavily than it should be. Treat the score as a strong first signal, and pair it with your own judgment on a borderline partner.
