- posts_observed: 4
- verified: false
- size_tier: kol

## Engagement
- status: average_measured
- engagement_rate: 0.02816
- engagement_rate_basis: average_interactions_per_view
- posts_in_average: 10
- avg_interactions_per_post: 380036
- best_post_interactions: 1969578
- measurement_source: tiktok_posts_mean
- measurement_formula: digg + comment + share, mean over observed posts, divided by the mean play count of those same posts — on TikTok the algorithmic feed decides reach, so followers are not the denominator that describes what share of an audience engaged
- comparable_pool: view_based_interactions
- status_note: engagement_rate is a MEAN over the posts we observed (posts_in_average says how many).
- 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.

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

- audience.description: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.9, freshness_days=75, method=llm_persona_from_recent_content
- audience.roles: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.9, freshness_days=75, method=llm_persona_from_recent_content
- audience.seniority: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.9, freshness_days=75, method=llm_persona_from_recent_content
- commercial.audience_buyer_fit: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.6, freshness_days=75, 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=75, method=llm_scorer
- quality.anomaly_flags: source_type=heuristic, confidence=0.5, freshness_days=92, 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=75, 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=92, 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.
- reach.followers: source_type=observed, confidence=0.95, freshness_days=92, method=platform_profile
