CULTURE//BOUNTY

CULTURE//BOUNTY is a Qloo-grounded Cultural Scout Agent for brand partnerships.

Give it a brand and campaign objective. The agent resolves the brand in Qloo, explores adjacent culture across podcasts, artists, movies and destinations, deliberately runs a second long-tail podcast search to escape obvious popularity rankings, preserves Qloo explainability, selects a cultural bridge, and generates a fail-closed creator bounty brief for human approval.

Why Qloo matters: before BUILD, we froze an LLM-only podcast baseline and ran a live Qloo API gate. Patagonia returned 5/5 top-five candidates outside the frozen baseline, Aesop 5/5, and Liquid Death 4/5. A separate low-popularity pass produced 5/5 novel candidates for all three brands. Qloo is the cultural grounding layer, not decoration.

Agent workflow: Resolve → Explore → Diversify → Explain → Select → Brief.

The current bounty flow is intentionally fail-closed: AUTHORIZE → verify placement → CAPTURE; otherwise VOID. This hackathon build does not execute a real payment.
