How this slice differs from the index as a whole
- A and B grades are 78% of this slice versus 20% overall — a denser pool, so the same screening effort yields more usable names.
- Average authenticity is 64/100 against 53/100 index-wide, with fewer bought-follower signals than average.
- 5% have recent content captured for judgement versus 19% overall — confidence here is lower than average, so pair it with manual review.
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.

Why this niche deserves its own view
"Cross-border" is defined by who the audience is and what job they do, not by what the creator posts about. Two creators can both cover AI tools while their audiences barely overlap — one talks to media buyers who care about creative and bids, the other to engineers who care about APIs and deployment. Searching by topic mixes them together; searching by audience function does not.
