## Evidence
- [threads_binkcummings#f8b757d8] A little announcement 📣 I get asked a lot if I'll ever sell courses or how people can repay me for the author advice I share here. The truth is... I just don't feel comfortable charging authors who are already trying to make this career work. Sharing what I've learned over the l (https://www.threads.com/@binkcummings/post/DZ6ikXQjdwa)
- [threads_binkcummings#6e3c70b3] Friendly reminder from your neighborhood indie author who spends way too much money on Meta ads. 😂 Stop fully judging your ads by Amazon attribution links. They lag.

- commercial.audience_buyer_fit: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.6, freshness_days=78, method=llm_scorer — Relative signal within Koinon indexing, not a market-wide score.

- quality.anomaly_flags: source_type=heuristic, confidence=0.5, freshness_days=121, method=profile_snapshot_and_engagement_ratio_heuristic — Means "worth a manual check", NOT confirmed fraud. Flags can be wrong and are not a verdict about the person.
- quality.authenticity_score: source_type=heuristic, confidence=0.5, freshness_days=78, method=Profile-shape heuristic from a single snapshot (follower count, following ratio, account age, posting volume, verification), reduced for engagement red flags where post engagement was collected. Where only a follower count is available the score saturates at 58. — The input set differs by platform; do not compare this score across platforms.
- quality.koinon_bd_grade: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.5, freshness_days=121, method=llm_partner_fit_classifier + fit_score >= 0.6 AND authenticity >= 60 => A; fit_score >= 0.4 AND authenticity >= 45 => B; else C. authenticity < 30 or a promotional-pattern flag => quarantine. — Koinon partner-outreach fit, not creator quality.
