# NIL Deals and Jobs on MOGL: Lifecycle and Key States
> Understand the difference between jobs and deals on MOGL, how a campaign moves from creation to payment, and how availability and cancellation work.
Every brand campaign on MOGL starts as a **job** and becomes a **deal** once an athlete is hired. These two terms describe the same engagement from different angles — the job is what the brand posts, and the deal is the athlete's active engagement against it. Knowing the lifecycle helps you understand where things stand at every stage.
## Jobs vs. deals
| Term | What it represents | Who owns it |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **Job** | A brand campaign posted by a partner, open for athlete applications | Brand partner |
| **Deal** | An athlete's hired engagement on a specific job | Athlete (or agent on their behalf) |
A single job can result in multiple deals if the partner hires more than one athlete for the campaign.

## The deal lifecycle
A brand partner creates a job with deliverable requirements, compensation, deadlines, and any screening questions. The job enters a review queue before it becomes visible to athletes.
**New partners:** If this is your first job on MOGL, the platform's AI review process evaluates your submission automatically. The AI may suggest edits to strengthen your campaign. You can accept the suggestions or proceed to manual review. See [AI first-deal review](#ai-first-deal-review) below.
Once approved, your job appears in the athlete marketplace. Athletes browse available jobs and submit applications, optionally answering your screening questions. Agents can apply on behalf of athletes they represent.
You review applications and select athletes. When you make an offer and the athlete accepts, a deal is created and a contract is generated inside MOGL. Both parties sign the contract digitally.
Before work begins, the athlete (or their agent) receives an availability confirmation request. They must explicitly confirm they are available and ready to proceed. This step protects brands from investing in a deal where the athlete has a scheduling conflict.
The athlete completes the agreed work — a social media post, video, appearance, or other content — and submits it through MOGL for the partner's review.
The partner reviews and approves the deliverable. MOGL releases payment to the athlete or their agent's connected payout account.

## Availability confirmation
Availability confirmation is a formal checkpoint, not just a notification. Both the athlete-facing mobile app and the web platform present a dedicated prompt requiring an explicit response.
You receive a notification when a brand needs you to confirm availability for a contracted deal. Open the deal in the app or web platform and select **Confirm** or **Not available**.
* If you confirm, the deal moves forward and work can begin.
* If you are not available, the deal is flagged and the brand is notified. Depending on the situation, the deal may be cancelled.
**Need more time?** You can request a deadline extension from within the deal view if you need additional time to complete your deliverable.
If you manage athletes, you can confirm or decline availability on their behalf from your agent dashboard.
* Use **Confirm athlete availability** to proceed with the deal.
* Use **Not available for deal** to decline on the athlete's behalf.
* Use **Request new due date** to ask the partner for a deadline extension.
Even when an agent confirms availability, the athlete remains the party responsible for delivering the contracted work.
You do not take action during the availability confirmation step. Once the athlete confirms, the deal status updates automatically and you can track progress in your deal dashboard.
If an athlete declines or does not respond, you will be notified so you can decide whether to offer the slot to another applicant or cancel the deal.

## Contract cancellation
When availability or business requirements change, MOGL provides a structured cancellation workflow rather than an ad-hoc process. Cancellation is a state transition with full audit history, not a deletion.
**Cancellation can be triggered when:**
* An athlete confirms they are not available for a deal
* A partner needs to withdraw from a contracted engagement
* MOGL operations determines that a deal cannot proceed
**What happens during cancellation:**
1. The cancellation is initiated by the athlete, agent, partner, or MOGL admin
2. The platform validates that the cancellation is permissible given the current deal state
3. Both the athlete and the brand partner are notified of the cancellation and any next steps
4. The deal is marked as cancelled in both parties' deal history
5. Payment implications (if any) are handled based on the stage at which cancellation occurred
Cancelling a contracted deal may have payment consequences depending on how far the deal has progressed. Review your contract terms before initiating a cancellation.

## AI first-deal review
When a brand partner submits their **first job** on MOGL, the platform runs an AI-assisted review before the job enters the standard approval queue.
**What the AI review does:**
* Evaluates whether the job has sufficient structure and clarity to attract quality applicants
* Scores the submission and identifies gaps or ambiguities
* Generates specific, actionable suggestions for the partner
**What happens after the review:**
The AI determines the job meets platform standards. It is approved and published without requiring manual review, reducing time to launch for well-structured campaigns.
The AI identifies improvements. You see the suggestions in your partner dashboard and can choose to accept them — the job is updated and moves toward approval — or skip them and proceed to manual MOGL review.
If the AI cannot reach a clear determination, or if the AI service is unavailable, your job routes to a MOGL operations reviewer. You will be notified when the review is complete.
AI suggestions are recommendations, not requirements. MOGL's AI review is a first-pass quality check; the final approval decision for your job rests with MOGL operations.
After your first job, subsequent campaigns go directly into the standard review queue without AI pre-screening.
