- 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.authenticity_score: source_type=heuristic, confidence=0.25, 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.
