## Engagement
- status: peak_post_only

- measurement_source: threads_post_likes
- measurement_formula: likes on one post (Threads exposes no reply or repost count on this path)

- 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_smashingdiy#1e6ceaee] 9 months ago, I did a 90 day challenge where I posted every single day for 3 months and grew more than 500k followers across platforms. I think it’s time to start up a new challenge. I have a crazy idea but is it even real if I don’t say it out loud 😂 (https://www.threads.com/@smashingdiy/post/DQKCdfXjSeC)
- [threads_smashingdiy#f3495f0f] Just finished my first market! And man was it a wild ride 😂
- [threads_smashingdiy#8e7d3973] Growth is turning down $30K because you know saying yes would cost you the rest God is calling you into. This past year has really opened my eyes. God has been teaching me to rest, trust Him more deeply, and stop striving to make everything happen on my own. I’ve learned that whe
- [threads_smashingdiy#8800f361] My first market is Friday!! Double checking, triple checking, making sure I have everything 😂
- [threads_smashingdiy#2a310f75] That same burning feeli

Every inferred field below carries how it was produced. Facts stay facts; inferences stay inferences.

- audience.description: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.4, freshness_days=20, method=llm_persona_from_recent_content
- audience.roles: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.4, freshness_days=20, method=llm_persona_from_recent_content
- audience.seniority: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.4, freshness_days=20, method=llm_persona_from_recent_content
- 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=108, 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=108, 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.
