The work brief

  1. 01Pick a niche (food, study-tips, fitness, tech) and a brand that fits it.
  2. 02Find 3 real creators (10k–500k followers). For each, compute real engagement from their last 5 posts: (likes + comments) ÷ followers.
  3. 03Compare them: engagement, content quality, audience fit, red flags.
  4. 04Draft the one-page collab brief with AI — deliverables, key message, dos/don’ts, timeline, a justified budget in ₹ — then edit it until it reads like an agency wrote it, not a bot.

What you’ll produce

4 deliverables

Submission standard

Submit the niche + brand, your creator comparison with real computed numbers, a screenshot, and the brief. Engagement numbers must come from posts you actually looked at. Also include your AI workflow — tools, best prompts, and what you changed from the AI’s output. Include a public link to one creator’s profile and a screenshot showing their handle and the exact post metrics your maths uses.

  • Niche + brand for the collab

    Short answerRequired

  • 3 creators compared: handle, followers, computed engagement from last 5 posts, fit notes

    Written responseRequired

  • Screenshot of one creator’s post metrics you used

    Must show the creator’s handle and the exact like/comment counts your engagement maths uses.

    Image uploadRequired

  • The collab brief: deliverables, message, dos/don’ts, timeline, budget in ₹ with reasoning

    Written responseRequired

You’ll complete these inside your private workspace.

What you must submit as proof

This brief requires evidence an AI can’t fabricate.

  • Public profile link to one of your 3 creators

    So the grader can verify the follower count and that the creator is real.

    Public linkRequired

Submissions without this evidence cannot be submitted.

Protect other people in your proof. Blur faces, names, phone numbers and email addresses before you upload, and refer to anyone you worked with by role or number ("Listener 1", "the stall owner"). Your proof is only ever used to check your work — it is never published, never appears on your certificate, and is never shown in your public portfolio.

How your work is evaluated

The passing benchmark is 70/100.

Real numbers

29%

Engagement is computed from actual posts, and the maths checks out.

Selection reasoning

14%

The pick follows from the comparison, not popularity.

Brief quality

29%

The brief is complete and usable by a real brand.

Numbers reconcile with reality

29%

Computed engagement matches the linked profile and the metrics screenshot. If handles/followers/engagement look invented or don’t reconcile across the link, screenshot, and table, this criterion is a fail regardless of the brief’s polish.

How we grade your AI usage

30% of your score

Using AI is the point — it’s the skill this certificate proves. You’ll answer three short questions about how you used it: what you asked, what was wrong with its first answer, and what you changed. Specific, honest answers score high. “I pasted the brief and submitted the answer” scores near zero.
