Why Partner with BAKSORBIT for Your Affiliate Readiness Audit?

An affiliate program touches revenue, brand, legal and operations. We bring a cross-functional lens — growth, finance and compliance — so your program is not only attractive to partners, but also sustainable and safe for your business.

30–60% Typical reduction in
tracking & leak risks
+40% Improved clarity in
commission economics
Stronger Partner trust and
program governance

Performance and profitability focused

We map your current and planned economics — AOV, margins, LTV and payback — to your commission and bonus structure. The audit highlights where you may be overpaying for low quality traffic or under-incentivizing the right partners.

Deep affiliate operations expertise

We’ve seen what breaks programs: messy approvals, confusing terms, manual payouts and poor communication. Our audit benchmarks your workflows against best practice so your team and your partners can work efficiently from day one.

Risk, compliance & brand protection

We assess your policies for coupon abuse, paid search bidding, trademark use, content rules and disclosures. You’ll know exactly where you’re exposed — and how to tighten guardrails without killing partner creativity.

Our Affiliate Program Readiness Audit Framework

A step-by-step process to evaluate whether your affiliate channel is structurally ready for high-quality partners, scalable growth and clean attribution.

01. Discovery & Program Health Check

We review your business model, current or planned affiliate setup, platforms, historical data (if any) and growth targets to understand how the channel is meant to support your broader acquisition mix.

02. Deep-Dive Audit Across Stack & Operations

We assess tracking and pixels, attribution logic, commission and incentive models, program terms, partner ICP, application and vetting flows, onboarding, creative assets, reporting and billing processes against best practices.

03. Findings, Readiness Score & Roadmap

You receive a structured findings report, a readiness score by dimension, and a prioritized roadmap of fixes and enhancements so you can confidently launch, relaunch or scale your affiliate program.

Make Affiliate Readiness
Part of Your Growth Plan

It’s tempting to rush into recruiting affiliates. But gaps in tracking, commissions, messaging or policies quickly lead to disputes, wasted spend and damaged relationships. Our readiness audit helps you slow down just enough to build a channel that’s attractive to partners and aligned with your unit economics from day one.

Affiliate Program Readiness Audit

BAKSORBIT’s Affiliate Program Readiness Audit breaks your program down into clear components — tracking, economics, policies, partner fit and operations — so you know exactly what needs to be in place before you scale.

Tracking & Attribution Review

We examine your tracking platform, pixels, event setup, cookie windows and attribution rules to identify leaks, conflicts with other channels and any gaps that could undermine partner confidence or your ROI analysis.

Commission & Incentive Economics

We stress-test your commission rates, tiers, bonuses, coupon logic and overrides against your margins and LTV so your offer is competitive for partners without putting your unit economics at risk.

Program Policies & Guardrails

We review your terms and conditions, brand guidelines, paid search and trademark rules, content standards and disclosure requirements to ensure they are clear, enforceable and aligned with your risk tolerance.

Partner ICP & Use Cases

We define (or refine) your ideal partner types, audience segments and key use cases so outreach, approvals and incentives are focused on affiliates who can actually move the needle for your business.

Onboarding, Assets & Messaging

We look at your application forms, welcome flows, creative asset packs and messaging to see whether new partners can quickly understand your offer, get links live and represent your brand correctly.

Reporting, Payouts & Governance

We assess how you reconcile sales, handle reversals and adjustments, pay partners and monitor fraud or abuse — highlighting improvements that make your program cleaner, faster and easier to trust.

Audit Outcomes You Can See in Profit, Control & Partner Trust

A good audit does more than produce a slide deck. It changes how you set up, talk about and manage your affiliate program — leading to clearer economics, fewer disputes and a stronger foundation for growth.

DTC Brand

Uncovering hidden tracking leaks

  • 15% of affiliate sales found untracked
  • −35% reduction in attribution disputes
  • +22% uplift in validated commissions

The audit identified issues with event firing and overlapping promo codes so the brand could fix leaks, pay partners accurately and restore confidence in the program.

SaaS Company

Aligning commissions with LTV

  • +30% improvement in payback period
  • +45% more budget for high-value partners
  • 0 unprofitable commission tiers after changes

By tying commission tiers to qualified trials and revenue milestones, the company kept partners motivated while protecting margins on lower-quality cohorts.

Marketplace

Bringing order to a chaotic program

  • −50% time spent on manual approvals
  • +60% increase in active, compliant partners
  • −40% policy violations from affiliates

Clearer partner ICP, better terms and automated workflows turned a reactive, messy affiliate setup into a managed, scalable channel.

Frequently Asked
Affiliate Audit Questions

Wondering whether you really need an audit, what gets reviewed or how much time it will take from your team? These answers cover the basics — and we’re happy to walk through what the process would look like for your specific program.

Ongoing management focuses on day-to-day partner communication, campaigns and optimization. A readiness audit is a focused, time-bound engagement designed to assess whether your foundation — tech, economics, policies and workflows — is strong enough to support that ongoing work and healthy growth.

No. Many clients run a readiness audit before launching, so they can design their program correctly from the start. If you already have a program, the audit simply incorporates your historical data and real partner feedback into our analysis.

We aim to be lightweight on your side. After an initial discovery call and access to the relevant platforms and documents, most of the work happens on our end. We regroup for clarification where needed and then present findings and recommendations once the audit is complete.

Yes. Many clients choose to engage us for implementation and ongoing affiliate management after the audit. However, the deliverables are designed so your internal team or another partner can implement them if you prefer — you’re not locked in.

We typically work with DTC brands, SaaS and subscription products, digital education and info products, and marketplaces that have clear margins and a repeatable funnel. If your product is a good fit for performance-based partnerships, a readiness audit can help you build the right structure around it.

If the audit surfaces major blockers, we’ll clearly outline what needs to change before you should move forward. Some clients choose to pause and fix pricing, funnel or product issues first. You can treat the audit as a strategic decision tool — not a commitment to launch regardless of what we find.
