- status_note: We have only the single best observed post, so no mean exists. peak_post_engagement_rate is an UPPER BOUND, systematically higher than an average — never compare it against an average rate.
- unit_note: engagement_rate and peak_post_engagement_rate are ratios (0-1); avg_interactions_per_post and best_post_interactions are absolute counts. Read status before reading any number: a null rate has several different causes and status says which one applies here.

## Evidence
- [threads_mikestrives#646805b6] One of the founders I coach went from DR 12 to DR 76 in 4 months. Organic traffic up 312% He didn’t spend a single $ Here’s the exact (simple) playbook: 1. Submit site url to 5–10 per week consistently 2. Focus on category-relevant directories first 3. Don't sleep on niche ones ( (https://www.threads.com/@mikestrives/post/DaDGI1NlnKC)
- [threads_mikestrives#284cf1e6] You do NOT need: - A perfect landing page - Paid ads - A giant team You need: 1. One painful workflow 2. One ecosystem 3. One lightweight solution
- [threads_mikestrives#cf69f48a] smart founders don’t acquire users (they do this) instead of building a product first they build inside an existing marketplace. Chrome, Slack, Zapier, Raycast, GitHub etc they’re all ecosystems. these marketplaces already have: - millions of users - built-in search intent - trus

- commercial.audience_buyer_fit: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.6, freshness_days=79, method=llm_scorer — Relative signal within Koinon indexing, not a market-wide score.

- quality.anomaly_flags: source_type=heuristic, confidence=0.5, freshness_days=118, 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=79, 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=118, 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.
