What we checked

20 checks, 15 passed, 1 to review
Metrics came from the platform Every audience figure here is a value X'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
Average impressions ≥ 20,000 89,448 average impressions, median 54,643, across 12 posts. required
Typical post also clears 20,000 Median impressions 54,643 and outlier-trimmed mean 78,996 both clear the floor. A sponsored post should land in that range. integrity
Tech / dev / software engineering 5 distinct dev signals in the bio and post text: aws, database, postgres, mysql, architecture. required
Not a gaming channel No gaming signal in the text. X 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) This account has left its location field empty. Region is unknown and must not be claimed. required
Like rate ≥ 0.15% of impressions 1.27% like rate, 0.025% comment rate, averaged per post. integrity
Average is not one viral outlier (X limit 15×) Top post is 4.9× the median, within the normal spread for X, so the average reflects repeatable performance. integrity
Comment volume matches the view counts Median 17 comments against 470 median likes: a normal ratio. integrity
impressions plausible for the followers count 89,448 average impressions against 46,245 followers (193%). integrity
Posted recently Last post 54 day(s) ago. preference
Publishes on a regular schedule Median 1 day(s) between posts; the 12 sampled posts span 254 days. preference
Sampled posts are recent enough to compare The 12 sampled posts span 254 days, close enough together that their impressions counts are comparable. integrity
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 X 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
