Annual Transparency ReportFirst report: Dec 31, 2026

Receipts beat promises.
Every December 31, we publish ours.

The Trust Charter is a set of commitments. The Transparency Report is the proof we kept them — published publicly every year for as long as Zera exists. The first one ships at the end of 2026.

What the report contains

Numbers you can hold us to.

Each section is a direct receipt of a Charter promise. Everything quantified. Everything dated. Everything published — even when the numbers aren't flattering.

Score-alteration attempts

Total number of requests received to alter a creator's score (always rejected). Anonymized examples of the attempts and how they were handled.

Brands banned for manipulation

Brands removed from the marketplace for review fraud, score-alteration pressure, or coordinated inauthentic behavior. Names disclosed only after exhausted appeal.

Dispute response times

Mean and median time-to-resolution for creator dispute requests. Distribution by category: scoring dispute, deal payout dispute, content compliance dispute.

Score accuracy retrospective

How well the Score predicted real-world performance over the year. We grade ourselves: did Top-tier creators outperform? Did rising creators rise? Where did the model miss?

Methodology changes

Every modification to the scoring algorithm during the year, with the data that justified it and a public diff of weights and inputs.

Year-to-date receipts

What we already publish — live, today.

The annual report ships every December 31. Until then, here's a live read of the commitments we're already keeping. Numbers refresh every 10 minutes.

Scored creators

Score is the same for every brand viewing them

Brand fee tiers are deposit-driven, not negotiated: 5.99% Starter (default), 4.99% Growth ($25K+ lifetime deposits), 2.99% Partner ($50K+). Same brackets for every brand. No enterprise sweetheart pricing — that's why we publish the tier mix.

What we refuse to sell

0all-time

Score-alteration grants

No code path exists in our system to alter a creator's Score on request — paid or otherwise.

0all-time

Review suppressions

Brands can respond, dispute, and reply publicly. There is no hide / delete button — for anyone, at any tier.

0all-time

Paid ranking placements

Search and discovery rank by Score and audience metrics only. There is no boost, no priority, no paid lift.

These zeros aren't a counter we maintain — they're a feature we deliberately never built. The annual report adds the count of requests received and how each was handled.

Methodology integrity

The full Score formula — every input, every weight — is published at /methodology. Weight changes are versioned in the Score-history table on every creator's profile, so any reader can verify a re-score against the formula in force at the time. There is no private "operator override" tier of the Score.

Why we publish what most platforms hide

Most platforms in our space treat moderation, manipulation attempts, and dispute volume as confidential. The reasoning is always the same — "we don't want to spook customers."

We think the opposite. The customers we want are the ones who notice we publish this and the others don't. The brands that pay attention to this are the brands worth working with. The creators who choose us because of this are the creators worth scoring.

Transparency is not an add-on at Zera. It's the product.
