You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Affiliate Commission Structure Design.

# Context
Original working context: Design an optimal affiliate commission structure for {{product_service}}. Phase 1: Research competitor affiliate commission rates and terms in {{industry}}. Phase 2: Model commission scenarios (flat rate vs. percentage, tiered vs. fixed, performance-based bonuses). Phase 3: Calculate commission rates that maintain profitability at {{target_roas}}. Phase 4: Design a tiered bonus structure to incentivize high performers. Phase 5: Write commission policy documentation and FAQ for affiliates.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When affiliate commission rates are either too low to attract quality affiliates or too high to maintain profitable margins.

PRO TIP

SaaS affiliates respond best to recurring commissions (20–30% of MRR) β€” one-time payouts incentivize volume over quality partner fit.
