- 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_shellythornewrites#22c0172c] Oh hey just a quick lil reminder that I wrote a book about a reality TV dating show filmed on a cruise ship in which the camerawoman finds love instead of the contestants. Perfect beach read, & a great rec if you love reading behind the scenes stuff (because I used to work in TV! (https://www.threads.com/@shellythornewrites/post/DY2KsdvgPgN)
- [threads_shellythornewrites#49c81940] Indie authors, have you had trad authors blurb your books? If so, did you ask before a release or after? Is it a little (or a lot) delulu to think I could get a major trad author to blurb my rom com that has already been released?
- [threads_shellythornewrites#1113827e] I showed my husband @binkcummings' earnings from last month on KDP and he was genuinely impressed. He asked how I could get to that point too.

- 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.
- commercial.promotion_intent: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.6, freshness_days=78, method=llm_scorer
- quality.anomaly_flags: source_type=heuristic, confidence=0.5, freshness_days=122, 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=122, 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.
