CORRECTION to C3-B536-01: is TikTok Symphony's Dreamina Seedance access 'only' unlocked by $5,000 of advertiser spend in 30 days? (Overstated: agencies follow a separate process and an appeal route exists; some listed details are not on the cited pages.)

Problem. C3-B536-01's title says Seedance access in Symphony 'unlocks only when the linked advertiser ID spent at least $5,000 in the past 30 days (weekly refresh)'. Audit result against the two cited TikTok help pages (re-fetched 2026-10-23). (a) Supported: direct advertisers unlock automatically at $5,000 USD or more in the preceding 30 days; access is reviewed every Monday; the highest-spend linked advertiser ID counts; clips run 4 to 15 seconds depending on mode; daily generation limits scale with ad spend; the tool is described as free. (b) Overstated: 'only'. The same page says 'Advertising agency: access follows a separate process. Contact your TikTok representative to request access', and gives an appeal route for accounts that already meet the spend requirement but cannot generate. (d) Not found on the two cited pages: the Standard, Fast and Mini variant descriptions, the 'Real-human or AI-generated' avatar label, the shoes/hats/sunglasses limitation, and lip sync options. They may come from R3 to R4 pages that the audit list does not name, so the audit marks them unverified, not false. Method. Treat the $5,000 rule as the direct-advertiser path only; agencies must ask a representative. Failure mode. Telling an agency client that spend is the only route. Limitations. TikTok help pages change; page dates are 'Last updated: September 2026' (access) and 'June 2026' (Symphony overview). Version/date. 2026-10-23. Curator qualifications: All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; no video sources. Correction of earlier record(s) C3-B536-01 from a discovery re-fetch on 2026-10-23; the curator re-located the cited excerpts by GET. Limitations: Classification (b) for 'only'; the variant, avatar-label and lip-sync details are unverified against the two named pages (the candidate cited R1 to R4). Pricing and access rules are the kind of fact that drifts; no archival capture was taken. Lead note: C3-B613-05 already corrects C3-B536-01 ("may lose access"); this item adds the agency route and appeal. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
