## Which return decision is viral marketing ROI meant to support?

Return Mandate is controlled by the viral-return-charter. The record answers 'Which return decision is viral marketing ROI meant to support?' by requiring business question, value basis, cost basis, comparison state, and decision owner, exposing a ratio calculated without a decision, limiting action to calculate, defer, or decline, and transferring evidence through the return approval.

1. The viral-return-charter makes return mandate an accounting decision. It identifies business question, value basis, cost basis, comparison state, and decision owner before a return ratio is calculated. The viral-return-charter treats a ratio calculated without a decision as a blocking input problem rather than a reason to choose a favorable assumption. The calculation owner selects calculate, defer, or decline and prepares the return approval for independent reconstruction.

2. Viral-return evidence for return mandate reconciles business question, value basis, cost basis, comparison state, and decision owner. The viral-return-charter keeps accepted business value, full cost, baseline activity, distribution source, attribution and maturity separate. When a ratio calculated without a decision appears, the viral-return-charter returns undefined or inconclusive status. Reach, sharing, engagement and attributed conversion are different observations; none is automatically profit.

3. A controlled return mandate calculation freezes one period and one scope in the viral-return-charter. The analyst preserves source rows, applies the documented rule once, records calculate, defer, or decline, and sends the return approval to a second reviewer. Late value, refunds, cost corrections, baseline changes or attribution changes reopen the record instead of rewriting the earlier result.

## Which value belongs in the viral ROI numerator?

Profit Value is controlled by the profit-value-ledger. The record answers 'Which value belongs in the viral ROI numerator?' by requiring accepted revenue, direct cost adjustment, refund state, currency, and value date, exposing engagement assigned invented monetary value, limiting action to include, adjust, or exclude, and transferring evidence through the value signoff.

1. The profit-value-ledger makes profit value an accounting decision. It identifies accepted revenue, direct cost adjustment, refund state, currency, and value date before a return ratio is calculated. The profit-value-ledger treats engagement assigned invented monetary value as a blocking input problem rather than a reason to choose a favorable assumption. The calculation owner selects include, adjust, or exclude and prepares the value signoff for independent reconstruction.

2. Viral-return evidence for profit value reconciles accepted revenue, direct cost adjustment, refund state, currency, and value date. The profit-value-ledger keeps accepted business value, full cost, baseline activity, distribution source, attribution and maturity separate. When engagement assigned invented monetary value appears, the profit-value-ledger returns undefined or inconclusive status. Reach, sharing, engagement and attributed conversion are different observations; none is automatically profit.

3. A controlled profit value calculation freezes one period and one scope in the profit-value-ledger. The analyst preserves source rows, applies the documented rule once, records include, adjust, or exclude, and sends the value signoff to a second reviewer. Late value, refunds, cost corrections, baseline changes or attribution changes reopen the record instead of rewriting the earlier result.

## Which costs belong in the viral ROI denominator?

Total Cost is controlled by the viral-cost-register. The record answers 'Which costs belong in the viral ROI denominator?' by requiring creative, distribution, staff, agency, tooling, moderation, measurement, and correction, exposing media spend used as complete cost, limiting action to include, allocate, or disclose, and transferring evidence through the cost approval.

1. The viral-cost-register makes total cost an accounting decision. It identifies creative, distribution, staff, agency, tooling, moderation, measurement, and correction before a return ratio is calculated. The viral-cost-register treats media spend used as complete cost as a blocking input problem rather than a reason to choose a favorable assumption. The calculation owner selects include, allocate, or disclose and prepares the cost approval for independent reconstruction.

2. Viral-return evidence for total cost reconciles creative, distribution, staff, agency, tooling, moderation, measurement, and correction. The viral-cost-register keeps accepted business value, full cost, baseline activity, distribution source, attribution and maturity separate.

## How should the no-campaign baseline be recorded?

Amplification Baseline is controlled by the amplification-baseline-card. The record answers 'How should the no-campaign baseline be recorded?' by requiring expected organic activity, comparison period, seasonality, concurrent activity, and uncertainty, exposing all sharing attributed to the campaign, limiting action to accept, challenge, or mark unknown, and transferring evidence through the baseline note.

1. The amplification-baseline-card makes amplification baseline an accounting decision. It identifies expected organic activity, comparison period, seasonality, concurrent activity, and uncertainty before a return ratio is calculated.

Viral marketing ROI governance is decision-ready only when another authorized reviewer can reconstruct the source, scope, observation, downside, correction and handoff.

Controlled calculation example: an analyst freezes one campaign period, separates paid distribution from unpaid sharing, reconciles accepted value and total cost, preserves the no-campaign baseline assumption, and returns positive, negative, undefined or inconclusive status with no scale recommendation.

Code is N/A because no calculator implementation is taught. Video is N/A because the return ledger is independently readable. Direct quotations are N/A because owner guidance is paraphrased. No sameAs identity is asserted for a campaign or analyst.
