See where your creator business depends on someone else
The Platform Dependency Score maps concentration, direct audience access, and evidence gaps. It is a diagnostic—not proof of customer outcomes or a promise to build software.
Dependency becomes costly before it becomes visible
A platform can control discovery, payments, contact, and memory of the fan relationship. The score makes those dependencies discussable without inventing universal benchmarks.
The Platform Tax
Fees are only the visible cost. The harder problem is relying on someone else for discovery, payments, audience access, and fan memory.
The Algorithm Reset
One ranking, moderation, or monetisation change can turn yesterday’s audience into today’s unreachable crowd.
The No-Proof Trap
Building loyalty infrastructure before proving creator urgency creates another abandoned tool. PrettyMint starts with proof, not software.
From score to the next honest proof
The diagnostic shows direction and concentration. It does not calculate lost revenue, predict retention, or prove that a loyalty product should exist.
- 1
Map
Score your platform dependency: where fans are trapped, what fees you pay, and which data you cannot reach.
- 2
Validate
Use the report and creator conversation to decide whether the problem is painful enough for a paid audit.
- 3
Pilot
Turn the audit into one narrowly scoped loyalty pilot only after the creator confirms a real audience workflow.
- 4
Continue or Kill
Continue only if the pilot produces evidence: retention lift, direct fan engagement, referral signal, or paid expansion.
Your creator dependency ledger
An editorial map of what each platform controls, what direct access you retain, what is known, and what needs evidence next.
Audit Before App
PrettyMint starts by mapping where creator revenue, audience access, and retention are most exposed before prescribing any loyalty build.
Projected Loyalty Proof
Fan-owned passes are still a hypothesis. The diagnostic and audits collect the evidence needed before committing to product scope.
Creator Conversations
Every report request and audit call is treated as validation data: pain, willingness to pay, pilot readiness, and what creators refuse.
First Pilot Discipline
The first pilot must prove a concrete creator workflow: a portable loyalty action that improves retention or earns direct fan engagement.
Explicit Kill Criteria
If creators do not request audits, pay for the first offer, or show pilot demand, PrettyMint stops instead of polishing a platform nobody needs.

Make the dependency visible before choosing a solution
The score is the only starting action. A bounded audit is discussed only when the diagnostic reveals a consequential evidence gap.
