How this segment differs from the baselines
| Metric | This segment | South Africa · Software | TikTok · Software |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creators | 121 | 147 | 17,199 |
| Grade A share | 0% | 1% | 0% |

Authenticity is above the platform-wide average for this industry (50 vs 50) — so vetting cost in this segment is relatively lower.
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.
