FORCE: Attention EconomyUNIVERSE: creator_commerceCLUSTER: Creator Sourcing

A predictive term for a creator-sourcing approach that prioritizes brand-audience alignment over raw sales volume or GMV from the very first screening step, rather than filtering for fit only after volume metrics.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"We're doing fit-first sourcing from now on, brand fit gets checked before we even look at follower count."

LORE & ORIGIN
