Why Agencies Need This

  • Scrambling in January to compile full-year payment records for 1099 filings
  • Missing W-9 forms from creators that delay tax filings and trigger penalties
  • No visibility into which international creators require W-8BEN forms
  • Manual calculation of withholding tax on international creator payments
Platform note: Instagram income is lumpy — one month can be $0, the next $20k. ORACLE should model deal pipeline cadence, not smooth revenue. Watch engagement rate: brands cut budgets when ER drops below 2%.
