How Tsunami Delivers

From campaign brief to settlement report — here's the full picture of how the Surge Engine turns coordinated creator posts into measurable marketing results.

The Problem with Creator Marketing

PROBLEM 01

No accountability

Brands pay upfront with no guarantee of real results.

PROBLEM 02

Fake engagement

Likes and comments can be bought. Brands can't tell real from fake.

PROBLEM 03

Scattered impact

Individual posts get lost in the feed. One creator alone won't move the algorithm.

The Tsunami Solution

A six-step process that aligns incentives between brands and creators.

1

Brand Creates Campaign

The brand fills out one page: company info, product details, campaign type, dates, and budget per creator. They pay upfront via Stripe.

2

Campaign Is Reviewed

Every campaign is manually reviewed before going live. Once approved, the campaign opens for creator bidding.

3

Creators Place Bids

Verified creators bid their expected engagement rate and desired fee. This is the core of the Engagement Bid Engine.

4

Brand Approves Bids

The brand reviews bids and approves the creators that fit. They can see each creator's track record and bid details.

5

The Surge Happens

Weekly Surge: creators post across 7 days. Day-and-Date: everyone posts same day, same hour. The algorithm sees a wave.

6

Measurement & Settlement

The Surge Engine pulls real metrics from Instagram, calculates AES scores, and determines fair payment automatically.

PROPRIETARY FORMULA

The AES Formula

The Aklopedia Engagement Score weights each type of engagement by how much intent it represents.

// Aklopedia Engagement Score (AES)
AES = (
Saves×0.40// Highest-intent action
+ Shares×0.25// Organic amplification
+ Comments×0.20// Active engagement
+ Likes×0.10// Passive signal
+ Visits×0.05// Profile curiosity
) ÷ Reach × 100

Why These Weights?

Saves (40%)The strongest signal of genuine interest and the hardest metric to fake.

Shares (25%)Someone found the content valuable enough to put their own reputation behind it.

Comments (20%)Real comments show active engagement. The algorithm rewards conversation.

Likes (10%)The most common action, but also the lowest effort. Weighted accordingly.

Fair Settlement

Creators are paid based on what they actually deliver — not what they promise.

Payment = Bid Fee × (Actual ER ÷ Bid ER)
Capped at Bid Fee

Example Scenarios

Creator delivers exactly what they bid
Bid: 5% ER at $200 → Actual: 5% → Payment: $200 (100%)
Creator under-delivers
Bid: 5% ER at $200 → Actual: 3% → Payment: $120 (60%)
Creator over-delivers
Bid: 5% ER at $200 → Actual: 8% → Payment: $200 (capped)
Fake engagement detected
Any artificial engagement → Payment: $0 + permanent ban
