## Reach
- followers: 56474
- following: 6927
- posts_total: 179817
- posts_observed: 17
- posts_per_day: 26.308

## Engagement
- status: peak_post_only
- peak_post_engagement_rate: 0.00021
- best_post_interactions: 12
- 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_techau#25fd9c01] Unlim chats with Luna. Open source having an impact ? (https://twitter.com/techAU)
- [x_techau#1cfc2b9f] Turns out tokens are expensive.. wherever they're made.
- [x_techau#a2478b5b] Some people are very quick to blame FSD when the issue is humans. You can't beat physics. No system FSD or human, could anticipate and avoid a collision if a driver is determined to drive into your path at the last second. AEB may slow and reduce the impact, but it can do miracle
- [x_techau#bcfcf6e4] It seems we need to work on how we're doing sandboxes. First OpenAI and now Meta AI.
- [x_techau#14ef9da3] Ford's next generation EV is more affordable.. Not due for a while, hope they get this one right, and ship to Australia.

- [x_techau#ed43cec6] On the The Karl Stefanovic Show with Kyle Sandilands, they talked positively of Spa

## 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=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=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=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=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.
