Good-fit check
Three signals: more than 5 products or ideas, enough URL volume, existing visual assets. All three is a strong fit, two is workable if the red-flag check is clean.
Three signals that a store will work on Pinterest. Answer each one and say what you saw — the answer is the score, the reasoning is what makes it checkable six months from now.
How it scores. All three yes and the account can carry an ambitious plan. Two is workable if the red-flag check is clean. One or none means Pinterest will be slow going here — which the client can be told now, and that is cheaper than telling them in month four. Every no raises a flag and opens a plan box: this check does not close until each one has an answer.
Are there more than five distinct products or ideas to pin?
The engine needs variety. One product becomes the same pin sixteen times, which Pinterest reads as repetition and suppresses.
Count genuinely distinct items or angles, not colourways of one thing. Collections, guides and editorial pages count.
Does the site have enough distinct URLs to keep a waterfall fed?
Each cycle needs its own URL, and a URL rests for a cooldown period after it runs. Too few pages and the same page comes back before its cooldown clears, competing with its own pins.
Target is more than twenty usable URLs. P1.0.3 counts them from the sitemap automatically — answer this on whether that count clears the bar for the planned frequency.
Do usable visual assets already exist?
If every pin needs shooting from scratch, the first cycle slips by weeks and the cost per cycle changes the commercials entirely.
Check their Instagram, existing campaign shoots, any brand asset drive. Enough for four designs per URL is the practical bar.
Red-flag check
Two signals that hold you back: a single landing page, and a restricted or sensitive niche. One is survivable with the mitigation written down, both together is a decline.
Two things that hold a store back regardless of how good the fit looked. Flag what is true and say what you saw.
How it scores. Neither flag and nothing is holding the account back. Either one is a stop-and-think: the box that opens underneath is where the case gets made for taking the account on anyway, or for telling the client no — and it is what P1.0.4 reads when it asks for the verdict.
One thing on this account needs an answer
Is the whole site a single landing page?
One page means one URL, which means the waterfall has nothing to rotate through and every cycle competes with the last.
Count real, distinct destination pages. Anchors on one page do not count.
Is the niche restricted or sensitive on Pinterest?
Restricted categories get distribution capped or the account actioned. Finding out after building the board architecture wastes the entire Strategy Core.
Check Pinterest's advertising and community guidelines for the category — supplements, CBD, weapons, adult, medical claims, financial advice.
Restricted categories get distribution capped quietly, or the account actioned outright. Discovering it after the board architecture is built throws away the whole Strategy Core, and there is no appeal that gives those months back.
Answered below.
What exactly is restricted, and how do we stay inside the guidelines?
This is the record of why the account was taken on despite the flag — or of the moment we told the client it was not worth their money. Either one is worth having in writing.
Name the concrete change, who makes it (us, the client, their developer), by when, and what we do differently in the meantime. If the answer is that we take the account anyway and accept the ceiling, write that down — it is a decision, not a gap.
Count URL volume
The system reads the sitemap and counts products, collections and blogs. Under 10 URLs is a red flag: too few to build a waterfall on. 20 is comfortable.
The system reads the sitemap and counts what is there. Record the breakdown so the number can be argued with later, because the frequency plan is built on it.
How it scores. Under 10 usable URLs is a red flag — too few to build a waterfall on. 20 or more is comfortable at two cycles a month.
How many usable URLs does the sitemap yield?
This number sets the maximum sustainable cycle frequency. Everything downstream — the daily pin target, the cooldown, whether the retainer is deliverable — comes off it.
The count runs automatically from the domain. Exclude cart, account, policy and tag pages: usable means a page a pin can sensibly point at.
What is the split, and which pages are the strongest candidates?
Phase 4 selects URLs from this pool every month. Knowing now which pages are seasonal, which are evergreen and which are thin saves that decision being made blind later.
List the categories and call out anything obviously seasonal or obviously weak.

Assess account potential
How much room is in this account: high potential, average, or challenging. The client has already signed, so this is not go/no-go — it sets the plan and what they are told about pace. On challenging, say so in writing now.
How much room is there in this account, and what does the client need to hear about pace. Nothing else in phase 1 unblocks until this is recorded.
How much potential does this account have?
HIGH: all three good-fit signals, neither red flag — this one can carry an ambitious plan. AVERAGE: workable, with a named risk to keep an eye on. CHALLENGING: it will take longer, and the client needs to hear that in writing now rather than in month four.
If this goes wrong, what will have caused it?
One sentence — the most likely failure, not every possible one. The risk screen checks against it in month three.
