User Journey

A partner campaign is submitted, moderated to active, and becomes eligible for the auction. Serving the rail emits ad.served and ticks impressions; a guest click emits ad.clicked and charges the bid to spend. Owner campaigns and moderation actions are canonical; a viewer's submissions and ticks are credential-scoped and cleared on reset.

The sponsored rail sits alongside organic recommendations on the marketplace results surface — the slots are always distinct and labelled — and reads the same shared property catalog the host owns. The simulated ad spend rolls up as representative platform revenue without any real exchange.
