  • Site-Bounded Placements: Every placement record in placements is scoped to a specific site_id and slot (homepage_top, homepage_sidebar, article_inline, article_bottom).
  • Active Date Window Enforcement: Both AdPlacement and /api/revenue/click require campaign.status === 'active' and verify now >= starts_at and now <= ends_at.
  • Static Sanitized Creatives Only: Third-party ad scripts are stripped by sanitizeAdHtml; all outbound sponsor links carry rel="noopener noreferrer sponsored".
  • Newsroom Separation: Editorial workflows cannot mutate billing or campaign records; commercial status is managed separately from newsroom publishing.
Network Standards & Category Guardrails

Commercial & Editorial Independence Rules

01. Single Primary Canonical Publication: Every story has one primary publication that owns its canonical URL; Sports Blizzard links to specialist canonicals via distinct summaries rather than duplicating full article bodies.
02. Attributed News Briefs vs. Original Reporting: News briefs must credit and link directly to the primary source without copying prose; original features and rulebook explainers require institutional factual and rights verification.
03. Sporting Results & Editorial Independence: Sponsor payments and commercial partnerships never influence sporting results, bout/game picks, athlete rankings, qualifications, or editorial reviews.
04. Explicit Sponsor Disclosure & Flight Dates: All commercial placements and sponsored series carry visible disclosure badges, active flight dates, and an editorial independence notice.
05. Youth Safety & Supplement Gate: Energy-drink and performance-supplement placements are excluded from youth and collegiate recruiting contexts.
06. Strict THC & Alcohol Separation: THC and alcohol campaigns are never bundled in the same placement, creative unit, or sponsored series.
07. Collector CARDZ Non-Monetization Rule: Collector CARDZ person cards and digital twins are never sold as ad inventory or implied endorsements.
08. No Unaccepted Partner Claims: Prospective partner proposals (Gorilla, LFA, PFL, Ed Soares, AKA, RVIVL) are never presented as signed endorsements or active sponsors.
