## Engagement
- status: peak_post_only
- peak_post_engagement_rate: 0.00033
- best_post_interactions: 5
- 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_bobmackin#9d688a55] The floodgates are open. (https://twitter.com/bobmackin/status/2074154040733454756)
- [x_bobmackin#a2802e37] As of July 14, when the #FIFAWorldCup semifinals begin, the @scienceworldca dome-wrapping will be out-of-date. This is the ball design for semi-finals and beyond. #WeAre26 https://t.co/ATrZSr2vyD
- [x_bobmackin#6711c0e0] Trivia: The first player red carded in #FIFAWorldCup history was Carlos Caszely of Chile on June 14, 1974 vs. W. Germany. His 76th birthday was -- coincidentally -- July 5. The same day the Trump red card suspension scandal erupted. #WeAre26 #SportsBiz #soccer #football
- [x_bobmackin#9d61ff7a] Another FIFA flight on Qatar Executive: Will this Gulfstream G650 carry Gianni Infantino (and VP Victor Montagliani) to Seattle for the most-controversial match (so far) of #FIFAWorldCup? Will Belgium's appeal succeed before it lands? #WeAre26 https://t.co/X2kHIHQORx

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=108, 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=108, 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=108, 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.
