Open items before this is fully reliable
- This statute has THREE separate eligibility tracks, not one threshold, and none of them fit this engine's single thresholdPct/setAsidePct/setAsideMultiplier model:
- (1) 'Performer'/contracted track — trust triggers at $20,000/year minor earnings; flat 15% set-aside.
- (2) 'Qualifying minor' track (the ordinary family-vlogger case) — triggers only if ALL of: minor's average monthly content share >= 30%, AND the creator's annual social-media income >= $150,000, AND the minor's resulting earnings >= $20,000. Set-aside is a formula (roughly minute-share x month's income / 2, split among qualifying minors if more than one), not a flat percentage.
- (3) 'Represented minor' track — same dollar gates as (1)/(2), under a formal representation agreement.
- Modeling this correctly needs new fields this schema doesn't have (annual creator income, annual minor earnings) and tier-selection logic. Treat any current Utah result from this engine as informational only — it is not the actual statutory test.
- Takedown right involves a multi-step notice process and a court balancing test (emotional harm to the person depicted vs. the creator's/public interest) before deletion is ordered — the engine models it as a bare boolean.
