Mathematical Audit

Creator Fund Valuation Formulas

Calculate the full commercial value of a platform creator grant program by combining cash awards with the traffic-driven value of ad credits.

Clicks from Ad Credits = Ad Credits ÷ Average CPC
Customers Generated = Clicks from Ad Credits × (Landing Page Conversion Rate ÷ 100)
Ad Credit Revenue Value = Customers Generated × Average Customer LTV
Total Financial Value = Cash Grant + Ad Credits + Ad Credit Revenue Value
Total Program Value = Total Financial Value + Equipment Stipend
ROI on Ad Spend % = (Ad Credit Revenue Value ÷ Ad Credits) × 100

Mentorship and training value are modeled through the business conversion of ad credits and equipment stipends provided during the cohort program.
