What should be agreed before a referral is made?

The parties should agree who owns the client relationship, whether the referrer receives payment or gives a discount, what project type is being discussed and how follow-up will be handled. Commercial terms should always be agreed clearly before a client is approached, so the relationship stays clean and the expectations stay realistic. In other words, the goal is to give the client a controlled first AI layer instead of leaving the whole topic vague and undefined. In the SupplyOnly.com model, the point is to make this useful rather than decorative: connect the answer to approved business facts, public Q&A, image context and the Own The Conversation fulfilment pathway. That gives a referrer or client a clearer reason to act without pretending that AI visibility is magic or guaranteed.
