Influencer script and video vetting, against your MLR criteria. At 400 influencers.
The two checkpoints
Two passes, each one AI first and a trained human second. The order matters: a script fixed before shooting costs nothing, and a video that never had to be reshot is the whole saving.
Before the influencer shoots anything.
A cleared script does not guarantee a clean video.
Script review is where the cost saving is — a rejected script costs a rewrite, a rejected video costs a reshoot and a creator relationship. Video review is where the risk is, because what was approved and what was published are not the same document.
How the scoring works
Abbott supplies the rulebook: ten medical and ten regulatory criteria, each weighted by importance. Hawky encodes them and applies them identically to every asset. We are not writing the standard — we are enforcing the one you set.
A high weight is a veto, not a heavier number. Seventy percent of criteria met clears an asset — unless a high-weight criterion failed, in which case it goes back regardless of how well it scored elsewhere. That single rule is what keeps a strong overall score from carrying a serious breach past the gate.
Step 1 · Decompose
A guideline written for a human reader is turned into something a system can evaluate: what it tests, which surface it applies to, and what specifically constitutes a failure. Your MLR reviewer confirms each definition before it goes live — we do not interpret a rule on your behalf.
Step 2 · Weight and classify
Every criterion carries the weight Abbott assigns it. Separately, you mark which criteria are guardrails — the high-priority ones that trigger red on their own. Weight and guardrail status are two different settings, because a criterion can be heavy without being absolute.
Step 3 · Evaluate and aggregate
Each criterion is evaluated independently against every surface of the asset, returning pass, fail or escalate with its evidence. The weighted roll-up produces the percentage; the guardrail check runs separately and overrides it.
| Criterion | Type | Surfaces read | Weight | Fails when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Approved claim set | Guardrail | Spoken, on-screen | Veto | A benefit claim outside the approved list appears on any surface |
| Mandatory disclosure | Guardrail | On-screen, spoken, caption | Veto | Partnership disclosure absent, or below the required prominence or duration |
| Substantiation | Scored | Spoken, on-screen | High | A statistic or study reference stated that does not match an approved claim |
| Comparative language | Scored | Spoken, on-screen | High | Product compared to a competitor or category without substantiation |
| Terminology | Scored | All surfaces | Medium | Unapproved product descriptor or condition name used |
| Audience framing | Scored | Visual, spoken | Medium | Product depicted for an audience outside the approved indication |
Before go-live the encoded set is run against assets your team has already passed and failed, and the weights are adjusted where our verdicts and yours disagree. After go-live, guidelines change under version control: every verdict records the rulebook version it was judged against, so content approved under one version is never silently assumed to pass under the next.
Green flag
Your reviewers spend their time confirming, not searching.
Red flag
Never reaches your MLR team — which is the point.
The process
Two checkpoints, each AI first and human QA second, with a defined escalation path at both.
The engine
Weighted criteria scoring, beat-level script structure, video entity extraction and queue processing are live in Hawky today. What we build for Abbott is your rulebook on top of them.
Pricing
Priced per video and billed within the platform subscription, rather than as a separate review service.
India · opening market special offer
$14.5per video
A special rate for India as our opening market with Abbott. Script check and video check, AI and human review on both.
US & global markets
$16.5per video
Applies to the US and all other global markets. Same scope, same checkpoints, same turnaround.
What the rate covers
No separate setup fee, no per-seat charge, no charge for red-flag returns.
Scaling
Reviewed at the end of the first quarter against actual volume and escalation rates.
Scoring
Criterion-level scores with a written rationale, not a single number.
Override
A failed high-priority criterion triggers red regardless of the total.
Flags
Timestamped to the frame and the line that triggered them.
Fidelity
Final video checked against the approved script, not just against MLR.
Escalation
A defined third path — uncertain content routes to Abbott, never guessed.
Approval
Your reviewer approves inside Hawky, with evidence attached.
Audit
Scores, violated criteria, comments and version history per asset.

Turnaround
Turnaround is set by reviewer capacity, and reviewer capacity is something we staff to the ramp. The AI pass does not change with volume; the human QA pass is what we scale.
From script submission to an approved video, assuming normal influencer turnaround between stages, five to seven business days per influencer — with scripts and videos running in parallel across the cohort rather than in sequence. At the quarter pace, 450 influencers clear in roughly twelve weeks provided submissions arrive evenly; a cohort that all submits in the final fortnight will queue, and that is a scheduling question rather than a capacity one.
Next steps
The ten medical and ten regulatory criteria with their weights, the definition of a high-priority criterion, and the brief with approved sample scripts.
Criteria, weights and thresholds configured for the first brand, with your reviewer alongside us so the encoding is confirmed rather than assumed.
A set of scripts and videos your team has already passed and failed. We run ours next to yours — agreement confirms the scoring, disagreement shows exactly which weights need adjusting.
Committed turnaround and escalation thresholds set against the calibration results, then the first cohort runs.
