## Reach
- followers: 1341

- posts_total: 3521
- posts_observed: 7
- posts_per_day: 2.192
- account_age_days: 1606

## Engagement
- status: peak_post_only
- peak_post_engagement_rate: 0.00149
- 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_jawestenberg#8f98ccde] Okay but can I vibecode this (https://twitter.com/jawestenberg/status/2070813695282999347)
- [x_jawestenberg#b0de1c2a] Oh no, an account with a hammer and sickle emoji called me a liberal How will I ever recover from this critique of my pragmatic desire to actually get things done instead of starting another Marxist book club on Discord
- [x_jawestenberg#8fa5d824] New update on Kerouac - I’ve added an MCP server so you can send ideas and notes to your writing studio via Hermes and other agents. Highly needed for my own workflows. Hope it’s helpful for yours! https://t.co/wMwEEzQdrg
- [x_jawestenberg#a9525a71] If you’re an artist / writer and you’re posting more about your rage and anger at Hank Green for using AI than you post about your own work, I don’t think AI is actually to blame for your professional disappointment.
- [x_jawestenberg#b5d21103] Whoever wants to find a reason no will always find a reason no.
- [x_jawestenberg#70559db5] The best writers show you a mirror. Whether you like what you see in it is irrelevant.

## Provenance
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=80, 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=80, 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=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=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.
- reach.followers: source_type=observed, confidence=0.95, freshness_days=108, method=platform_profile
