## Engagement
- status: peak_post_only
- peak_post_engagement_rate: 0.00121
- best_post_interactions: 13
- 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.

## Audience (inferred)
- status: present
- description: Bootstrapped indie hackers, solo founders and developers running their own SaaS or self-hosted products
- roles: dev
- seniority: decision_maker
- pain_points: Cloud hosting bills growing beyond $50/mo, Product quality slipping when founders stop dogfooding, MRR looking healthy until real costs are subtracted, Shipping hotfixes without proper code review
- posts_analysed: 7
- confidence: 0.4

## Commercial (inferred)
- audience_buyer_fit: 0.9
- promotion_intent: 0.8

## Quality signals
- authenticity_score: 81
- authenticity_basis: engagement_observed
- credibility_score: 81
- flagged_for_review: false
- koinon_bd_grade: A — measures Koinon partner-outreach fit, not creator quality
- interpretation: Signals for triage, not verdicts. A flag means the profile is worth a manual check.

## Evidence
- [x_joncphillips#003af720] Nothing ages a product faster than a founder who stopped using it themselves. For real, you can feel it in the details, the stuff that only breaks if you're in there daily. Like, six months of not opening your own thing and it shows. (https://twitter.com/joncphillips/status/2068860342852100555)
- [x_joncphillips#56005623] This is pretty much why I always prefer to self-host everything. This shouldn’t cost more than $50/mo.
- [x_joncphillips#cb2a593f] Thanks @_zidkim for asking some really thoughtful questions! 🙏
- [x_joncphillips#c59d6896] Good morning. Started my day like this, which hasn't happened in months. Let's see how long that lasts 🙏 https://t.co/AAMqtoyt5z
- [x_joncphillips#ec6982a9] Hotfix (n.): a change you'd never approve in a code review, shipped straight to prod, with a commit message that says "fixed".
- [x_joncphillips#4025a7c9] Come on bro, we're almost there! https://t.co/bd6S4gPhmK
- [x_joncphillips#c41925bb] I helped a friend run some numbers on his business a few days ago. His MRR looked freakin' good at first glance. But then you subtract what it costs him to keep the thing

- commercial.audience_buyer_fit: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.6, freshness_days=77, 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=77, method=llm_scorer
- quality.anomaly_flags: source_type=heuristic, confidence=0.5, freshness_days=120, 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=77, 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=120, 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.
