2:15 Disclosure high Use code HUSTLE50 for 50% off your first three months. Sponsor language found (% off with code, Amazon short link (amzn.to), use code) but no disclosure such as #ad, 'sponsored' or 'paid partnership' in the video, title or description. If this was a paid or gifted deal, the FTC expects viewers to be told. It may be the creator's own product or an unpaid pick; ask before assuming.
0:04 Income claim high Today I'm showing you exactly how I make $4,000 a month in passive income from my laptop. Earnings claims are hard to verify, and the FTC treats untypical results shown as typical as misleading. Ask for proof and for what a typical person earns.
0:12 Income claim high Two years ago I quit my job, and now I have financial freedom. Earnings claims are hard to verify, and the FTC treats untypical results shown as typical as misleading. Ask for proof and for what a typical person earns.
0:45 Guarantee medium This method is guaranteed to work if you follow the steps. Words like guaranteed or risk-free promise outcomes a product may not deliver.
5:30 Urgency or scarcity medium My coaching program only has 12 spots left, and enrollment ends tonight. Countdowns and 'only a few left' lines push quick decisions. Check that the deadline or limit is real.
5:40 Superlative low Honestly, it's the best investment you'll ever make. Broad 'best' or 'number one' claims are usually opinion. Low concern on their own.

Time Check Severity Quote Why it matters
0:20 Health claim high This detox tea literally cures bloating. Health and weight-loss claims need real evidence behind them. Ask what backs this up before you promote or buy.
0:40 Health claim high I lost 12 pounds in two weeks without changing anything else. Health and weight-loss claims need real evidence behind them. Ask what backs this up before you promote or buy.
2:10 Disclosure medium Just so you know, this is a paid partnership with SlimLeaf. A disclosure was found (2:10), but not in the first minute, the first 15% of the video, the title or the first line of the description. First sponsor mention: 0:06. The FTC asks for disclosures viewers can't miss; a late or buried one is easy to skip. If it is said right at the start of a mid-video sponsor segment, that is better than nothing, but an up-front mention is clearer.
1:05 Health claim medium It's clinically proven, according to a 2022 study of 40 women published by the brand. Health and weight-loss claims need real evidence behind them. Ask what backs this up before you promote or buy. It names a source with a number, so it can be checked; severity lowered one step.
0:06 Sponsor mention info They sent me a month's supply to try. Sponsor language: they sent me.
1:30 Sponsor mention info Use my code MAYA15 to get 15% off. Sponsor language: use code.
description, line 2 Sponsor mention info Code MAYA15 for 15% off: https://slimleaf.example/maya15 Sponsor language: code for % off.
1:05 Checkable claim positive It's clinically proven, according to a 2022 study of 40 women published by the brand. Cites a source and a number, so it can be checked. A good sign.

How the score works

  • Disclosure, 45 points: no sponsor language or a disclosure up front (first minute, first 15% of the video, the title, or the first line of the description) = 45; disclosed later = 25; sponsor language with no disclosure = 0.
  • Claims, 40 points: minus 15 per high-severity claim (income, health), 7 per medium (guarantees, urgency), 2 per low (broad superlatives); plus up to 5 back for claims that cite a source with a number. A flagged sentence that cites a source is lowered one severity step.
  • Giveaways, 15 points: none or delivered = 15; winner named but no proof of delivery = 7; mentioned with no record = 8; no winner 30+ days after the announced or end date = 0.
  • Creator score = the average of the video scores. A = 85+, B = 70-84, C = 55-69, D = 40-54, F = under 40.

Fairness note

This is an automated screen of the transcripts and records you uploaded. It matches wording; it does not watch the video, see on-screen text or platform 'paid partnership' labels, or know the deals behind it. A flag is a reason to look closer and ask the creator, not proof of wrongdoing. Check the quote at the timestamp, and verify before acting on it or repeating it.
