How this slice differs from the index as a whole

How to read these numbers: this covers creators indexed and validated inside Koinon Link, not every creator on the platform. Suspected bought-follower accounts are quarantined and excluded from the table above (shown separately). The authenticity score is our own anomaly detection over follower/engagement structure, not a platform-official metric. Figures update as collection continues.

What to look at first on Instagram

Follower count is the least useful thing to sort by. Median followers for E-commerce / DTC creators on Instagram is 8,529, meaning half the pool is smaller than that — and what actually decides whether a campaign works is whether their audience is your customer.

A practical order: (1) narrow by sub-niche first (the largest segments above); (2) then check authenticity — this pool averages 51/100, and anything well below that deserves a look at whether follower growth came in vertical steps; (3) contactability last — 12% publish contact details on Instagram, and a low share is normal since DMs remain the main channel.

Why 2 accounts sit in quarantine

These accounts look fine on follower count, but their follower structure or engagement ratio shows clear anomalies. They are not deleted — just moved out of default results, so budget does not go to bought audiences. That is also why "creators indexed" above is smaller than the raw crawl.
