+ # Freemium Ad Monetization Review
28
+
29
+ <!-- mustflow-section: purpose -->
30
+ ## Purpose
31
+
32
+ Design free access, product limits, and advertising as separate levers. Let eligible users receive
33
+ enough owned value to judge the product, then monetize repeat use or scale without interrupting active
34
+ work, withholding a completed core result, or mistaking ad impressions and paywall conversion for
35
+ long-horizon contribution.
36
+
37
+ <!-- mustflow-section: use-when -->
38
+ ## Use When
39
+
40
+ - A product compares generous ad-supported free use with ad-free limited use, a hard paywall, a
41
+ metered free plan, or a mixed free tier.
42
+ - Free access changes feature, usage, speed, batch, quality, export, storage, automation,
43
+ collaboration, history, API, or support limits.
44
+ - Interstitial, app-open, pre-content, mid-task, processing-wait, pre-result, post-result, or rewarded
45
+ ad placement, eligibility, frequency, suppression, or failure behavior changes.
46
+ - A report compares free-to-paid conversion, ad revenue, user acquisition, retained value, server
47
+ cost, ad SDK cost, or contribution per eligible user.
48
+
49
+ <!-- mustflow-section: do-not-use-when -->
50
+ ## Do Not Use When
51
+
52
+ - The main risk is game death, lives, energy, revive, progression fairness, or finite-content pacing;
53
+ use `game-economy-monetization-review`.
54
+ - The task only chooses product price, billing cadence, trial card collection, or subscription versus
55
+ usage pricing; use `pricing-model-integrity-review`.
56
+ - The task only changes signup, sample-to-own transfer, or first-value onboarding without a free-plan
57
+ or advertising decision; use `product-onboarding-activation-review`.
58
+ - The main risk is ad SDK integration, provider fill, callback integrity, consent collection,
59
+ tracking, attribution, child-directed treatment, or platform policy. Use the matching advertising,
60
+ privacy, security, or provider owner.
61
+ - The task is result watermarking, embedded service attribution, affiliate or influencer commission,
62
+ or promotion between owned products rather than paid or rewarded advertising inventory; use
63
+ `growth-distribution-integrity-review`.
64
+
65
+ <!-- mustflow-section: required-inputs -->
66
+ ## Required Inputs
67
+
68
+ - Value ledger: eligible user, core job, first owned result, completion, export or possession,
69
+ time-to-value, repeat cadence, retained use, and paid value.
70
+ - Free-tier ledger: features, usage, scale, speed, quality, export, storage, history, automation,
71
+ collaboration, API, support, reset, abuse controls, and variable cost.
72
+ - Ad ledger: format, placement, natural transition, explicit choice, reward, eligibility, first-value
73
+ suppression, frequency, session and time caps, load state, failure path, latency, revenue, fees,
74
+ privacy, consent, age, accessibility, and platform constraints.
75
+ - Paid ledger: price, entitlement, ad removal, lifted limits, conversion, churn, refunds, disputes,
76
+ support, variable cost, and retained contribution.
77
+ - Experiment ledger: pre-gate assignment, holdout, exposure, free-plan and ad versions, traffic,
78
+ horizon, interference, guardrails, and promotion rule.
79
+
80
+ <!-- mustflow-section: preconditions -->
81
+ ## Preconditions
82
+
83
+ - Separate how much free value exists, whether ads exist, which ad format is used, where it appears,
84
+ and how often it appears. These are not one binary decision.
85
+ - Define an observable user-owned value event before setting the first restriction or forced ad.
86
+ - Assign before the first free limit, paywall, or ad opportunity and retain abandoners in the
87
+ intent-to-treat denominator.
88
+ - Treat hard-paywall benchmarks, ad revenue averages, first-result counts, task intervals, minute
89
+ caps, and another product's limit as hypotheses, not defaults.
90
+ - Refresh current ad-platform, privacy, consent, age, accessibility, and jurisdiction constraints;
91
+ this skill does not authorize live ads, tracking, prices, experiments, or messages.
92
+
93
+ <!-- mustflow-section: allowed-edits -->
94
+ ## Allowed Edits
95
+
96
+ - Add or refine free-value boundaries, repeat or scale limits, ad placement and suppression,
97
+ voluntary rewards, failure-safe continuation, frequency policy, premium treatment, contribution
98
+ metrics, experiment events, fixtures, tests, docs, route metadata, and synchronized templates.
99
+ - Remove first-value interception, mid-edit interruption, pre-result hostage ads, fake rewarded-ad
100
+ choice, ad-load blocking, or limits that prevent a user from evaluating the core job.
101
+ - Do not conceal an ad behind a product action, delay a ready result to finish an ad, or claim that a
102
+ paid plan is ad-free when ads or equivalent sponsored interruptions remain.
103
+
104
+ <!-- mustflow-section: procedure -->
105
+ ## Procedure
106
+
107
+ 1. Split five decisions: free value, repeat or scale limit, ad format, ad placement, and frequency.
108
+ Do not compare bundles without naming which mechanism changed.
109
+ 2. Define the full-funnel outcome per eligible assigned user. Include first owned value, retained
110
+ use, paid conversion, subscription and purchase net revenue, ad net revenue, refunds, support,
111
+ variable service cost, reward cost, ad SDK cost, latency, and long-horizon contribution.
112
+ 3. Give enough free access to complete and possess a representative core result where product cost,
113
+ safety, and abuse permit. Restrict later repetition, scale, speed, batch, premium quality,
114
+ advanced export, storage, automation, collaboration, or API according to product value and cost.
115
+ 4. Do not universalize one free result. Derive the evaluation allowance from time-to-value, result
116
+ variance, trust needed, marginal cost, abuse, and whether one result is representative.
117
+ 5. Price the ad-supported audience honestly. Compare cumulative ad net revenue with lost paid
118
+ conversion, delayed payment, variable service and support cost, performance harm, retention, and
119
+ acquisition value. Ad gross revenue is not free-user profit.
120
+ 6. Match the free model to product physics. High-frequency, low-marginal-cost content can support
121
+ more ad-funded use; episodic or variable-cost production may need tighter repeat or scale limits.
122
+ Treat this as a candidate model, not a product-category law.
123
+ 7. Place forced interstitials only at a genuine natural transition after the current value has been
124
+ delivered, such as leaving a completed result or moving to a new unit. Do not interrupt input,
125
+ editing, active problem solving, checkout, safety actions, or accessibility flows.
126
+ 8. Never hold the completed core result behind a forced ad. Let the user inspect and retain what the
127
+ product promised before monetizing the transition to another task or optional benefit.
128
+ 9. Treat pre-content ads as context-dependent. They can fit expected long-form consumption after the
129
+ user understands the service, but not an unfamiliar product's first attempt or first owned value.
130
+ 10. Treat processing time as an ad opportunity only when input is complete, the ad does not delay
131
+ the result, declining or ad failure does not delay it, and the user will not wait twice. Do not
132
+ add artificial processing time.
133
+ 11. Keep rewarded ads genuinely optional. Name the incremental benefit before choice, preserve the
134
+ ordinary path, and do not call a required ad rewarded merely because it unlocks the core result.
135
+ 12. Make ad unavailability failure-safe. If a forced ad is not ready or cannot display, continue the
136
+ product transition; if a voluntary reward cannot be earned, explain that state without consuming
137
+ the attempt or withholding already earned value.
138
+ 13. Derive frequency from cumulative harm and value cadence. Use first-value suppression, minimum
139
+ spacing, session caps, consecutive-ad prevention, and context cancellation where supported, but
140
+ do not copy universal task counts or minute intervals.
141
+ 14. Keep premium treatment explicit. Define whether payment removes forced ads, rewarded-ad choices,
142
+ both, or neither; if a subscriber receives a no-ad reward, preserve the declared eligibility and
143
+ economic cap rather than creating unlimited value accidentally.
144
+ 15. Measure ad displacement by declared pre-experiment payer state and purchase propensity without
145
+ applying hidden rules to payers. Track first-purchase delay, plan conversion, downgrade, IAP,
146
+ reward use, and retained contribution.
147
+ 16. Account for privacy, age, consent, accessibility, data transfer, SDK startup, crashes, binary
148
+ size, battery, network use, and page or app performance as product costs and release guardrails.
149
+ 17. Keep placement, plan, frequency, and reward versions reconstructable across exposure and payment.
150
+ Sequence tests when traffic cannot identify several mechanisms at once.
151
+ 18. Promote only a reversible policy that improves eligible-user contribution without lowering
152
+ first owned value, holding results hostage, interrupting active work, or violating current ad,
153
+ privacy, age, accessibility, and platform authority.
154
+
155
+ <!-- mustflow-section: postconditions -->
156
+ ## Postconditions
157
+
158
+ - Free value, limits, ad presence, format, placement, and frequency remain separate decisions.
159
+ - A representative owned result precedes the first forced monetization boundary where allowed.
160
+ - Forced ads use natural transitions and do not block input, active work, or result inspection.
161
+ - Rewarded ads are optional and ad unavailability cannot consume earned product value.
162
+ - The headline result uses eligible users and net contribution with conversion, retention, cost,
163
+ performance, privacy, and ad-cannibalization guardrails.

+

+ <!-- mustflow-section: verification -->

174
+ ## Failure Handling
175
+

+ - If the first owned value event is undefined, do not introduce a forced ad or harsher free limit.
177
+ - If ad and limit variants change together, report the result as a bundle effect and do not claim the
178
+ winning mechanism is known.
179
+ - If only exposed ad viewers are analyzed, report observational evidence rather than eligible-user
180
+ incrementality.
181
+ - If an ad is unavailable and the product path blocks, restore failure-safe continuation before
182
+ tuning fill or revenue.

+ # Game Economy Monetization Review
28
+
29
+ <!-- mustflow-section: purpose -->
30
+ ## Purpose
31
+
32
+ Monetize recovery and play pacing without turning avoidable frustration into a bill, selling ranked
33
+ outcomes, erasing the meaning of failure, burning finite content, or replacing high-value consumable
34
+ spend with a cheap unlimited subscription. Judge rewarded ads, credits, energy, and membership from
35
+ incremental long-horizon contribution and durable play rather than one-day revenue.
36
+
37
+ <!-- mustflow-section: use-when -->
38
+ ## Use When
39
+
40
+ - Death, failure, timeout, or loss can trigger a credit revive, rewarded-ad revive, free insurance,
41
+ retry, checkpoint restore, extra move, or subscription benefit.
42
+ - A lives or energy system changes natural recovery, capacity, refill size, price, rewarded-ad refill,
43
+ cooldown, overflow, notification, or unlimited-play treatment.
44
+ - A VIP pass or subscription bundles revives, energy, ad removal, daily currency, progression,
45
+ convenience, cosmetics, event access, or loyalty rewards.
46
+ - A game-economy experiment compares ARPDAU, ad revenue, IAP, subscription, retention, content
47
+ completion, progression, competition, or long-horizon player contribution.
48
+
49
+ <!-- mustflow-section: do-not-use-when -->
50
+ ## Do Not Use When
51
+
52
+ - The task only changes generic credit packs, expiry, rollover, spend order, or quote settlement;
53
+ use `credit-monetization-integrity-review`.
54
+ - The task only chooses subscription, usage, price level, annual billing, or geographic pricing
55
+ outside a game loop; use `pricing-model-integrity-review`.
56
+ - The main risk is battle-pass or membership cadence, cosmetics, power goods, deterministic bundles,
57
+ paid or free randomized rewards, loot boxes, odds, pity, or liveops content production; use
58
+ `game-liveops-commerce-integrity-review`.
59
+ - The main risk is ad SDK loading, consent, attribution, provider callbacks, payment settlement,
60
+ refunds, chargebacks, or fraud; use the advertising, payment, privacy, or provider owner.
61
+ - The main risk is cancellation, pause, downgrade, or save offers; use
62
+ `subscription-retention-profit-review`.
63
+ - The task requests a jurisdiction- or age-specific gambling, loot-box, advertising, consumer, tax,
64
+ or accounting decision. Use current qualified authority; this skill prepares the product evidence.
65
+
66
+ <!-- mustflow-section: required-inputs -->
67
+ ## Required Inputs
68
+
69
+ - Loop ledger: genre, mode, session goal, failure meaning, checkpoint, retry cadence, skill and luck,
70
+ competitive consequence, progression, content supply, repeatability, and user-generated content.
71
+ - Failure ledger: cause, run age, progress at risk, game defect or latency, prior revives, revive value,
72
+ price, cooldown, per-run and daily limits, outcome after revive, and later return.
73
+ - Energy ledger: capacity, natural recovery, satisfying-session allowance, refill source and amount,
74
+ overflow, stockpiling, notification, progression velocity, concurrency, and content-burn rate.
75
+ - Ad ledger: eligibility, explicit choice, reward, storage, per-run and time cap, availability,
76
+ completion, failure, revenue, latency, IAP displacement, privacy, age, and platform constraints.
77
+ - Credit ledger: acquired-right class, revive or refill price, balance, depletion, purchase, useful
78
+ play after spend, reversal, and variable or content cost.
79
+ - Membership ledger: included benefits, caps, ad treatment, daily grants, cosmetics, event access,
80
+ renewal, member and nonmember spend, IAP cannibalization, tenure, and content consumption.
81
+ - Experiment ledger: pre-eligibility assignment, mode and payer strata, holdout, exposure, progression,
82
+ content version, economy version, observation horizon, guardrails, and promotion rule.
83
+
84
+ <!-- mustflow-section: preconditions -->
85
+ ## Preconditions
86
+
87
+ - Define what failure teaches or protects before selling a way around it.
88
+ - Establish a playable natural-recovery or ordinary-retry baseline that can deliver a satisfying
89
+ session before the first monetization gate.
90
+ - Assign experiments before death, depletion, ad choice, or membership eligibility; retain users who
91
+ never reach the trigger in the intent-to-treat denominator.
92
+ - Treat copied revive counts, refill ratios, subscription prices, ad caps, benchmark uplifts, and
93
+ renewal horizons as hypotheses, not defaults.
94
+ - Keep live economy changes, prices, grants, ads, experiments, and messages under configured command
95
+ and product authority; this skill grants none of them.
96
+
97
+ <!-- mustflow-section: allowed-edits -->
98
+ ## Allowed Edits
99
+
100
+ - Add or refine recovery policy, energy pacing, rewarded-ad and credit differentiation, membership
101
+ benefits, economy events, content-burn measures, experiment assignment, guardrails, fixtures,
102
+ tests, docs, route metadata, and synchronized templates.
103
+ - Remove paid correction of product defects, forced rewarded ads, unlimited competitive advantage,
104
+ uncapped repeat revives, hidden energy gates, or subscriptions that merely discount unlimited
105
+ consumables below existing payer spend.
106
+ - Do not sell an outcome in ranked competition, charge for a failure caused by a confirmed product
107
+ defect, or silently change purchased balances and membership rights.
108
+
109
+ <!-- mustflow-section: procedure -->
110
+ ## Procedure
111
+
112
+ 1. Separate five decisions: ordinary recovery, credit recovery, rewarded-ad recovery, energy pacing,
113
+ and membership benefits. Do not make one short-term revenue winner choose the other four.
114
+ 2. Classify the loop before monetizing it. Distinguish ranked competition, cooperative play,
115
+ roguelike or permadeath identity, stage-based casual play, finite narrative content, and renewable
116
+ PvE, PvP, or user-generated content.
117
+ 3. Preserve outcome integrity. Exclude paid revives or paid play-volume advantages where they decide
118
+ ranked results or materially compound competitive progression. In a death-defined loop, test
119
+ checkpoint or meta-progression help before a revive that erases the core consequence.
120
+ 4. Preserve a satisfying free session. Set natural retry or recovery from observed time-to-fun,
121
+ session completion, progression, and return cadence. Do not place the first depletion wall before
122
+ the player can understand and enjoy the loop.
123
+ 5. Classify failure cause. Separate player choice, learnable mistake, bad luck, accessibility need,
124
+ network failure, latency, crash, unclear rule, and product defect. Repair or compensate product-
125
+ caused loss; do not present a paid cure as proof the failure was fair.
126
+ 6. Bound revives by loop meaning. Define checkpoint, retained progress, reward at risk, price, per-run
127
+ count, escalating or fixed cost, and post-revive outcome. A one-revive policy can be a candidate,
128
+ not a universal rule.
129
+ 7. Differentiate rewarded ads from credits. Keep an ad reward immediate, nontransferable, and usually
130
+ bound to the current run or a partial refill; let paid credits provide faster or more flexible
131
+ recovery. Do not make a repeatable ad and paid credit perfectly interchangeable.
132
+ 8. Keep rewarded ads voluntary. Show the reward and consequence before choice, grant it once from an
133
+ authoritative completion event, and preserve the ordinary path when the ad is unavailable,
134
+ fails, or the user declines.
135
+ 9. Measure ad incrementality as ad net revenue plus later contribution minus displaced IAP,
136
+ delayed first purchase, reward cost, economy inflation, latency, support, and retained-play harm.
137
+ Segment declared payers and nonpayers without hiding a rule from one group.
138
+ 10. Treat energy as a pacing control, not proof of demand. Compare natural recovery, paid refill,
139
+ limited rewarded refill, larger capacity, faster member recovery, and bounded play windows using
140
+ retained play, progression quality, and content supply.
141
+ 11. Stress content burn. Measure stage completion, event exhaustion, matchmaking supply, progression
142
+ gaps, update cadence, and support load when energy or play limits are relaxed. Finite authored
143
+ content and renewable competitive or user-generated content need different caps.
144
+ 12. Make membership a broad recurring-value contract. Combine suitable convenience, ad treatment,
145
+ capacity or recovery benefit, bounded insurance, daily value, cosmetics, loyalty, or event access
146
+ so skilled players can value it without needing to fail repeatedly.
147
+ 13. Avoid unlimited consumable arbitrage. Compare member price with the distribution of displaced
148
+ revive, refill, and ad value, especially repeat spenders and heavy users. Cap or meter benefits
149
+ when unlimited use would collapse IAP, pacing, competition, or capacity.
150
+ 14. If members receive an ad-free version of a rewarded benefit, apply the same economic eligibility
151
+ and cap unless the membership contract explicitly prices a different right. Do not create an
152
+ unbounded grant merely by removing the ad playback.
153
+ 15. Keep economy versions reconstructable. Snapshot prices, rewards, recovery rates, caps,
154
+ subscription benefits, content version, and eligibility at assignment and use.
155
+ 16. Analyze from pre-trigger assignment over multiple content and billing cycles. Include total IAP,
156
+ ad net revenue, subscription net revenue, refunds, chargebacks, variable cost, retained play,
157
+ progression, content burn, payer migration, and contribution per eligible player.
158
+ 17. Predeclare fairness and quality guardrails: win rate by spend, progression spread, frustration,
159
+ defect-linked offers, accessibility, ad opt-out, session abandonment, content exhaustion,
160
+ economy inflation, and support complaints.
161
+ 18. Promote only a reversible policy that improves long-horizon eligible-player contribution without
162
+ selling competitive outcomes, monetizing defects, erasing meaningful failure, or exhausting the
163
+ content and economy faster than the product can sustain.
164
+
165
+ <!-- mustflow-section: postconditions -->
166
+ ## Postconditions
167
+
168
+ - Ordinary recovery, credits, ads, energy, and membership have separate rights, limits, and metrics.
169
+ - Ranked outcome, meaningful-death, defect, accessibility, and content-supply boundaries are explicit.
170
+ - Rewarded ads are voluntary, bounded, economically distinct from paid credits, and failure-safe.
171
+ - Membership value is not an uncapped discounted substitute for revive or refill spend.
172
+ - The headline result uses pre-trigger eligible players and long-horizon contribution with IAP
173
+ cannibalization, content burn, retained play, and fairness guardrails.
174
+
175
+ <!-- mustflow-section: verification -->
176
+ ## Verification
177
+
178
+ Use configured oneshot command intents when available: `changes_status`, `changes_diff_summary`,
179
+ `lint`, `build`, `test_related`, `test`, `docs_validate_fast`, `test_release`, and `mustflow_check`.
180
+ Do not infer live economy, ad-network, billing, analytics, grant, experiment, deployment, or production
181
+ commands.
182
+
183
+ <!-- mustflow-section: failure-handling -->
184
+ ## Failure Handling
185
+
186
+ - If the mode or failure meaning is unknown, keep monetization bounded and do not add unlimited play
187
+ or repeated revives.
188
+ - If an offer follows crashes, latency, or confirmed defects, suppress charging and route recovery to
189
+ compensation and incident owners.
190
+ - If ad viewers and nonviewers were compared only after self-selection, report observational
191
+ association rather than ad lift.
192
+ - If membership growth is offset by lost IAP, faster content exhaustion, unfair progression, or lower
193
+ retained contribution, reject or narrow the benefit.
194
+ - If age, privacy, ad, gambling, or platform authority is unresolved, preserve the lower-risk current
195
+ path and escalate instead of launching the treatment.
196
+
