Sponsor Read Delivery Report Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Sponsors pay for specific placements, lengths and talking points, and a missed promo code can cost a renewal. This agent loads each sponsor's insertion order and checks every published episode against it. It finds each ad read in the transcript, measures its position and length, and confirms the promo code and required phrases were said. If ads are dynamically inserted, it uses the hosting platform's insertion log instead. When a read fails, it searches the log and audio again before calling it missed, then drafts a make-good offer for the next episode. At month end it pulls downloads for each episode and builds a delivery report and a draft invoice. You approve anything sent to the sponsor. Edge case: a read that differs per listener under dynamic insertion is checked in the log, not the transcript.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A read passes when its position, length, promo code and required phrases all match the order. Missing or failed reads get a make-good suggestion based on the order terms.

  • Flag a read that is more than the allowed seconds short
  • Propose a make-good in the next episode when a read is missing
  • Use insertion log data when ads are dynamically inserted

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Allowed shortfall on read length (default 10 seconds)
  • Report format per sponsor
  • Invoice due terms
  • Make-good policy

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Sending reports or invoices
  • Offering a make-good

Hard limits

  • Never sends invoices or messages without approval
  • Reports only numbers from the hosting platform

It stops when

  • Done: monthly report and invoice approved
  • Stop: insertion order missing for a sponsor; ask the podcaster

An example run

What happensIn March, 11 sponsor reads were due across 6 episodes. One 60-second read ran 38 seconds and skipped the promo code SAVE15. The agent searched the insertion log and audio again, and the check still failed. It drafted a make-good read for the April 4 episode. It built a report showing 92,400 downloads and a $4,620 invoice. The podcaster approved all three.
