Treat the market rate as an anchor, not a final number. Real deals shift based on exclusivity, usage rights, audience country mix, brand fit, and how strongly the creator wants the deal. Use the conservative number as an opening offer if you're on the buyer side, and the market number as your opening quote if you're the creator.
