Description
This is a proprietary machine-learning model developed by impact.com. It analyzes thousands of data points from across our partnership ecosystem to identify and recommend new partners who are most likely to be relevant and productive for your specific program.
Intended use
Primary use cases
Suggesting new traditional and influencer partners who haven't yet joined your program.
Helping you discover opportunities filtered by country, industry, and promotional method.
Accelerating program growth by surfacing high-potential partners.
Out-of-scope uses
Treating recommendations as guarantees of future performance (they are suggestions).
Using the tool as the sole factor in partnership decisions; human judgment remains essential.
How we use your data
Training data. The model is trained on aggregated, fully anonymized data from thousands of successful partnerships across the entire platform: non-personal signals such as partner attributes, historical performance trends, and program similarities.
Privacy-preserving design. The model identifies platform-wide patterns of what makes a partnership succeed. It does not use or expose any other brand's or partner's private performance data to generate your recommendations. Your own data is used only to match you to those anonymized trends.
Limitations & ethical considerations
Fairness. Built on our Responsible-by-Design methodology, the model includes business rules to promote fairness (for example, verifying a partner's willingness to work with brands of different sizes), so partners have equitable opportunity to be discovered on their merits.
Feedback loop. When you act on a recommendation (inviting, archiving, or declining a partner), you provide an implicit signal that helps refine future suggestions for your program.
Governance. Use of this AI is governed by our internal AI governance framework and responsible-by-design practices, which mandate Privacy, Fairness, Transparency, Accountability, Explainability, and Safety.
