Sponsor Makegood Settlement / 赞助补偿结算

Sponsor Makegood Settlement is the arbitration rite for a live 赞助补偿账本. It decides which replacement inventory, if any, the producer spends after a sponsor delivery shortfall.

The rite turns sponsor pressure into management play without allowing a sponsor payment to erase reality damage.

Entry requirements

A valid offer requires:

entry_state:
  trigger_kind: state_pressure
  makegood_ledger_present: true
  source_contract_or_package_visible: true
  promised_delivery_visible: true
  delivery_shortfall_visible: true
  requested_makegood_visible: true
  replacement_inventory_or_explicit_absence_visible: true
  harmed_reader_or_explicit_absence_visible: true
  no_fixed_turn_trigger: true

The rite must not open from turn count, fixed date, generic sponsor anger, raw content count, or a global upkeep phase.

Assignment slots

The player must assign or explicitly mark absence for:

• replacement inventory;
• proof anchor;
• handler;
• harmed reader;
• release or capture clause;
• future route reader.

A branch with missing assignments may still resolve, but it must resolve through a scar or default risk.

Branch families

Branch	Immediate relief	Required cost/scar	Future effect
Spend future slot	sponsor and schedule pressure fall	schedule debt, correction opportunity loss, audience fatigue	slot locked or future route costlier
Convert recap package	sponsor receives visible frame	omitted truth, public distrust, package counterclaim	sponsor-only or split package required
Bind artist labor	delivery promise satisfied through appearance/voice	consent pressure, artist boundary debt, inspection heat	artist route costlier or consent hearing required
Refund fan oxygen	public legitimacy or attention floor improves	sponsor hostility, oxygen liability, fan resentment	public-only bridge or refund audit
Trade archive proof	lawful or custody clarity improves	archive debt, source exposure, edit ambiguity	lawful-only, checksum-required, or quarantined proof
Buy sponsor release	shortfall narrowed by signed release	contract capture, future blackmail, public distrust	accepted with release clause only
Refuse makegood	false replacement blocked	sponsor stop-loss, schedule, or license pressure rises	disputed, blocked, or recovery-only
Default filing	immediate dispute may pause	captured inventory, hidden harmed reader, false-clean claim	makegood default hardens downstream

No branch can grant universal acceptance across sponsor, public, lawful, editor, schedule, artist, and route-asset readers.

Settlement outputs

Every resolved branch must write:

settlement_result:
  selected_branch: future_slot | recap_package | artist_labor | fan_oxygen_refund | archive_proof_trade | sponsor_release | refuse | default
  replacement_inventory_spent_or_absent: <inventory_or_absence>
  harmed_reader_after: <reader_state>
  sponsor_state_after: <state>
  public_or_artist_state_after: <state_or_absence>
  settlement_state_after: priced | converted | split | refused | defaulted
  counter_deltas:
    relief: []
    cost: []
    future: []
  future_route_effect: <effect>

Failure and default conditions

补偿库存默认 is armed when:

• the sponsor files the makegood before the producer prices harmed readers;
• replacement inventory is invented without a real slot, package, proof, artist, oxygen, or release surface;
• public grief, memorial voice, or fan oxygen is handed to sponsor as clean inventory;
• artist labor is filed as contract-owned consent;
• archive proof is sold as sponsor asset without lawful/editor bridge;
• a release clause hides future discoverability;
• no future reader consumes the settlement result.

Non-goals

• Not a money-only settlement.
• Not a PR apology rite.
• Not a second stability package arbitration.
• Not a way to delete sponsor stop-loss pressure for free.
• Not valid without relief, cost, and future reader mutation.
