## Identity
- platform: x
- handle: DividendSchool
- platform_url: https://twitter.com/DividendSchool
- entity_type: creator
- person_id: Cross-platform identity not resolved for this creator.

## Reach
- followers: 673
- following: 267
- posts_total: 1394
- posts_observed: 1
- posts_per_day: 0.37
- account_age_days: 3769

## Engagement
- status: peak_post_only
- peak_post_engagement_rate: 0.00297
- best_post_interactions: 2
- measurement_source: x_post_interactions
- measurement_formula: interactions on one post — likes, or likes + reposts + replies depending on the discovery path (the two are not distinguishable in the stored data)
- comparable_pool: peak_interactions
- 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
- [x_dividendschool#9ef5a0aa] How amateurs check a dividend Look at the yield Look at the streak Look at the sector How the pros do it Compare dividend growth to earnings growth Pull the free cash flow payout ratio Ask what that ratio looked like 5 years ago (https://twitter.com/DividendSchool/status/2064347033654206618)

- [x_dividendschool#7053ee84] 3 lies you've been told about dividend safety: 1. A long streak means it's safe 2. A boring industry means low risk 3. A low P/E protects you None of that shows up on the cash flow statement. The payout ratio does.

- [x_dividendschool#10005b90] Dividend tip: check the free cash flow payout ratio, not the EPS payout ratio. PepsiCo: 51.65% in 2015 → 99.56% in 2025 Kimberly-Clark: 57.20% in 2023 → 101.28% in 2025 Both still sit on the "safe" lists. Both now pay out roughly every dolla

- commercial.audience_buyer_fit: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.6, freshness_days=80, method=llm_scorer — Relative signal within Koinon indexing, not a market-wide score.

- 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=80, 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.
