## Evidence
- [x_theericcarlson#bc361205] A lot of people confuse confidence with being right. That’s dangerous in marketing. The best marketers I know are not confident because they can predict every outcome. They’re confident because they trust their process. They know how to diagnose. They know what to check first. Th (https://twitter.com/theericcarlson/status/2069806510855643284)
- [x_theericcarlson#35be1db4] In marketing, you rarely get perfect certainty. You get incomplete data. Noisy attribution. Changing platform behavior. Creative fatigue. Offer sensitivity. Seasonality.

- audience.seniority: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.4, freshness_days=29, method=llm_persona_from_recent_content
- commercial.audience_buyer_fit: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.6, freshness_days=87, 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=87, method=llm_scorer
- quality.anomaly_flags: source_type=heuristic, confidence=0.5, freshness_days=128, 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=0.25, freshness_days=87, 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=128, 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.
