Use the accepted brief as your reference. Separate factual corrections from new creative requests, identify each issue by timestamp and approve a specific final version. A polished recording alone does not establish product accuracy or likely campaign results.
Open the draft beside the accepted brief
This review starts after a creator has supplied a demo. The demo-brief guide covers what to request before production; here the decision is whether the delivered version is ready to publish or needs a specific correction.
Collect the accepted brief, current video, proposed caption, destination URL and agreed review deadline. Name one person to consolidate feedback, with a product contact available to verify uncertain statements. Use a version name or dated file link so everyone reviews the same material.
Watch once as the intended buyer. Can you tell which problem is being explained, what the software actually does and what you should do next? Then watch again for factual detail. Check spoken words, screen text and captions separately: an accurate voiceover can still accompany an outdated screen label.
Check what the recording shows and what it implies
Compare each important claim with your current product evidence. Check plan restrictions, required setup and the difference between requesting an action and completing it. If you cannot verify a statement, ask the product contact or remove it before approval.
A staged walkthrough should be presented as a demonstration. Do not turn it into a claim that the creator uses the software regularly or achieved a business result. Check that screen records use the agreed fictional data and that partnership disclosure is included as agreed. This is an editorial review checklist, not a platform-specific compliance determination.
| Check | Evidence to inspect | Correction to request when needed |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow | Visible steps against the supported product workflow | Restore an omitted step or explain a required setup. |
| Availability | Current feature and plan information | State the relevant restriction instead of implying universal access. |
| Outcome claims | Evidence behind savings, lead or revenue statements | Remove an unsupported result; describe the demonstrated action. |
| Experience | Whether the recording is staged or reflects established use | Label the example accurately and remove invented personal experience. |
| Viewer action | Caption, link placement and exact destination | Make the instruction match what the destination lets buyers do. |
| Delivery | Accepted format and supplied version | Identify the missing agreed item without adding unpriced work. |
Example: a search is prepared, but not yet started
Hypothetical scenario: a creator supplies a proposed PitchWith.us walkthrough. The recording shows a business website being entered, a platform being selected and the preparation button being pressed. The narration then says the creator shortlist is ready, although the recording stops at the filters. This is an invented review example, not an observed creator error or a commissioned campaign.
The public PitchWith.us workflow distinguishes preparation from starting discovery. A useful correction would explain that preparation opens discovery with inputs for review. If the brief calls for showing results, ask the creator to show the separate search step and the returned evidence, subject to actual access and availability. Do not fill the gap with invented results.
If results are shown, check the explanation beside them. Returned profiles, metrics and AI assessments require review. A PitchWithUs Score alone does not verify buyer demographics, follower authenticity, video analysis or future conversions. Remove any narration that turns those assessments into guarantees.
Apply the same method to your own software: locate the exact point where the recording's promise exceeds the visible, supported action. Correct that point rather than asking for a full reshoot without explaining the issue.
Send corrections the creator can act on
Use one feedback document with a timestamp, the issue, the supporting fact and the requested change. Mark required factual corrections separately from optional preferences. Reconcile conflicting internal comments before sending them to the creator.
Original feedback example to adapt: 'At 00:18, the narration says the shortlist is ready, but the screen shows the search filters. Please explain that the user reviews these filters and starts discovery next. If we keep the results explanation, we also need footage of that step.' The timestamp and recording are hypothetical.
Keep requests within the agreed scope and review rounds. A new buyer audience, a second workflow or an additional format may require a revised fee or schedule. Discuss those changes explicitly instead of presenting them as corrections. If a product error makes the planned demonstration impossible, agree how to revise the deliverable before asking the creator to record again.
Confirm the version and publication details
Recheck each required correction in the revised file. Inspect the final caption and follow the exact destination link through the promised action. The landing-page guide covers that route in detail; a video approval should not leave an unresolved mismatch between the spoken instruction and the page.
Record the final file or version, review date, approving contact and any unresolved items. Confirm the agreed publication account, date and link placement with the creator. If an essential claim remains unsupported or the buyer action is broken, explain the issue and agree a correction or revised timing before confirming publication.
PitchWith.us supports finding candidates, reviewing available evidence and drafting collaboration proposals. Keep production feedback and approvals in a document or channel you arrange with the creator. This guide does not describe a built-in video review, approval or publishing service.
Approval confirms readiness against the brief; it does not predict attention, leads or sales. Use the first-collaboration review guide after publication to assess delivery and available buyer-action records.

Questions people ask
Should I rewrite the creator's whole script during review?
Identify inaccurate facts, missing agreed steps and unclear viewer instructions first. Explain the correction needed and let the creator propose natural wording. Discuss a wider creative rewrite separately if it changes the accepted scope.
What if the demo looks good but makes an unsupported promise?
Resolve the promise before confirming publication. Supply evidence that supports the exact wording or ask for a narrower description of what the product demonstrates. Presentation quality does not substantiate an outcome claim.
Does approving the video also approve every caption or later edit?
Specify the video version, caption and intended use covered by your review. Ask to inspect changed product statements or viewer instructions before publication. Confirm additional uses and edits with the creator under the accepted agreement.
Can I approve creator videos inside PitchWith.us?
The documented public workflow covers discovery, evidence review and draft collaboration proposals. Arrange demo review and approval directly with the creator using your chosen document or communication channel.
