What we checked, in full
20 checks, 16 passed, 1 to review
| ✓ | Metrics came from the platform | Every audience figure here is a value TikTok's own API returned, never estimated or inferred. The price estimate is the one number we work out ourselves, and it is labelled and shows its arithmetic. | not published |
| ✓ | Enough recent posts to judge | 6 recent posts sampled (target 6). | not published |
| ✓ | Average plays ≥ 20,000 | 235,671 average plays, median 100,511, across 6 posts. | required |
| ✓ | Typical post also clears 20,000 | Median plays 100,511 and outlier-trimmed mean 115,068 both clear the floor. A sponsored post should land in that range. | integrity |
| ✓ | Tech / dev / software engineering | 7 distinct dev signals in the bio and post text: sql, programming, coding, system design, debugging, cybersecurity. | required |
| ✓ | Not a gaming channel | No gaming signal in the text. TikTok publishes no content category, so this is a text judgement. | required |
| ✓ | Not a hardware / gear channel | No hardware/gear pattern. | preference |
| ✓ | Target region (US / UK / EU / AU / NZ / SG) | United States (US), from the platform's own country field. | required |
| ✓ | Like rate ≥ 1.5% of plays | 6.23% like rate, 0.062% comment rate, averaged per post. | integrity |
| ✓ | Average is not one viral outlier (TikTok limit 26×) | Top post is 9.4× the median, within the normal spread for TikTok, so the average reflects repeatable performance. | integrity |
| ✓ | Comment volume matches the view counts | Median 49 comments against 5,671 median likes: a normal ratio. | integrity |
| ✓ | plays plausible for the followers count | 235,671 average plays against 94,500 followers (249%). | integrity |
| ✓ | Posted recently | Last post 4 day(s) ago. | preference |
| ✓ | Publishes on a regular schedule | Median 3.5 day(s) between posts; the 6 sampled posts span 482 days. | preference |
| ! | Sampled posts are recent enough to compare | The 6 sampled posts span 482 days. Plays counts accumulate over time, so an average across posts this far apart is weighted toward the oldest one and overstates current reach. | integrity |
| ✓ | Same numbers from two endpoints of the same API | 1 post(s) appeared in both the TikTok search index and the profile feed. View counts agree to within 0.0%. | integrity |
| – | Verified against the platform's own published feed | TikTok publishes no independent public feed to check the API's numbers against. YouTube is the only platform here where that second source exists. | not published |
| ✓ | An independent creator, not a company's own channel | Nothing marks this as a company-run channel: it is not a known company account, the name carries no corporate designation, and the bio is not written in a company's voice. | required |
| – | Same person confirmed on other platforms | No other public profile was linked from this account, so this record covers one platform only. | not published |
| – | Runs paid promotions (platform-declared) | Sponsorships shown for this creator are parsed from the text of their own post descriptions, so they are suspected rather than platform-confirmed. | not published |
