## Reach
- followers: 2484
- following: 1633
- posts_total: 9760
- posts_observed: 1
- posts_per_day: 1.74

## Engagement
- status: peak_post_only
- peak_post_engagement_rate: 0.00805
- best_post_interactions: 20
- 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_thomas__barker#16905bf4] skaterumors the guy that ran it worked in the art department at black box and he doxxed Danny way (before that was a thing) so Danny showed up at lunch and skated with us every day for like two weeks looking for the guy but the guy skipped town and closed the site. (https://twitter.com/thomas__barker/status/2070002289784631715)
- [x_thomas__barker#5cd107e2] skater slammed hard at the park yesterday. Type of slam you know they aren’t skating for weeks. Dude got super pissed, focused his board and left. Gen Z skater said he’d never seen someone freak out like that which shocked me. Feel like this used to be a regular occurrence.
- [x_thomas__barker#11e3c26f] We announced our 2026 CSEF Scholarship Class today. Fun story... one of our top recipients had written his essay on Jerry Hsu so one of our board members forwarded it to him and Jerry followed the kid on insta. The kid was almost more hyped on the follow than the scholarship.
- [x_thomas__barker#b09eba67] Piss Drunx water brand… now I’ve seen it all.

- commercial.audience_buyer_fit: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.6, freshness_days=89, method=llm_scorer — Relative signal within Koinon indexing, not a market-wide score.

- 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=0.5, freshness_days=89, 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.
