20 checks, 10 passed
| ✓ | Metrics came from the platform | Every audience figure here is a value dev.to'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 | 12 recent posts sampled (target 12). | not published |
| ✓ | DEV floor: ≥25 median reactions across ≥6 articles | 33 median reactions and 11 median comments across 12 recent articles. | required |
| – | Audience size | DEV publishes no follower count and no view count. This author is scored on what their articles actually earn in reactions and comments, which is a different thing from an audience number and is labelled as such. | not published |
| ✓ | Tech / dev / software engineering | 11 distinct dev signals in the bio and post text: java, backend, webdev, sql, snowflake, programming. | required |
| ✓ | Not a gaming channel | No gaming signal in the text. DEV 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 creator's self-entered location text. Self-reported by the creator, same as a platform country field. Shown with its confidence rather than treated as independently verified. | required |
| – | Engagement rate | DEV publishes no view count, so a rate (engagement ÷ views) is not computable. Absolute counts are shown instead. | not published |
| – | Average is not one viral outlier | No view counts on this platform. | not published |
| – | Comment volume matches the view counts | Comment counts were not returned for this account. | not published |
| – | Reach plausible for the audience count | DEV did not return a reactions per article count. | not published |
| ✓ | Posted recently | Last post 4 day(s) ago. | preference |
| ✓ | Publishes on a regular schedule | Median 10.4 day(s) between posts; the 12 sampled posts span 137 days. | preference |
| – | Sampled posts are recent enough to compare | Too few dated posts with counts to test whether the sample is comparable. | not published |
| – | Same numbers from two endpoints of the same API | No post from this account appeared in both the search index and the profile feed, so there was nothing to cross-check. | not published |
| – | Verified against the platform's own published feed | DEV 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 |
