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

## Reach
- followers: 4525
- following: 1059
- posts_total: 889
- posts_observed: 1
- posts_per_day: 0.137
- account_age_days: 6500

## Engagement
- status: peak_post_only
- peak_post_engagement_rate: 0.00066
- best_post_interactions: 3
- 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_mattschaar#efa8adbf] "I like your tech, I do not like your tech leaders. Your tech leaders are so unlike your tech." - Gandhi, probably (https://twitter.com/mattschaar/status/2072868146843685081)
- [x_mattschaar#3fadf739] Somewhere somebody is blaming Dr. Fauci for this
- [x_mattschaar#d384c58c] Whenever you think that VCs are carriers of the deepest recesses of knowledge, remember that the most lauded ones still think DOGE was a good idea
- [x_mattschaar#b28ad0d0] AIPAC: "helping fight for an authentic Democratic agenda in Michigan" Also AIPAC: "which is why we're throwing our support behind the Republican candidate for US Senate"
- [x_mattschaar#9737f35a] A whole bunch of tech leaders are screeching about "DSA" and "communism" while blindly ignoring that the Republican Party kinda used to stand for something other than wanton destruction of our institutions and disparaging of anyone who isn't megarich.
- [x_mattschaar#c99aaa16] What is it with “I’m not conservative, I’m a moderate liberal” tech leaders in SF posting photos of people going thru a drug crisis? Maybe all those Flock

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=77, method=llm_persona_from_recent_content
- audience.roles: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.4, freshness_days=77, method=llm_persona_from_recent_content
- audience.seniority: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.4, freshness_days=77, method=llm_persona_from_recent_content
- 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=111, 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=111, 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.
