Referral Abuse Guardrails Define the guardrails that stop end customers from gaming a customer refer-a-friend program, and deliver them as a guardrail spec: rules with thresholds, verification gates, a reward-hold policy, an enforcement ladder, and monitoring signals. This skill protects whatever reward structure already exists - it never redesigns it. No ratified standard covers consumer referral abuse. Borrow exactly four things, nothing more, and only as a mental model, never as a compliance claim: GIVT/SIVT shape (ad-measurement standards): a cheap deterministic tier plus an expensive corroborative tier. OWASP OAT-019 Account Creation: the automated slice only. Trust-and-safety enforcement-ladder principles: proportionality, consistency, transparency, for the enforcement section. Sybil-attack result, as the strategic frame: fake identities can never be fully detected without a central identity authority, so every guardrail is really a cost imposed on the abuser. The goal is making abuse unprofitable, not catching everything.
