What we checked, in full
20 checks, 13 passed, 3 to review
| ✓ | Metrics came from the platform | Every audience figure here is a value Instagram'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 | 20,462 average plays, median 16,692, across 6 posts. | required |
| ! | Typical post also clears 20,000 | The average clears the floor but the median post gets 16,692 plays. The brief's bar is met on the average; a sponsored slot would more likely perform near the median. | integrity |
| ✓ | Tech / dev / software engineering | 19 distinct dev signals in the bio and post text: javascript, python, java, backend, devops, kubernetes. | required |
| ✓ | Not a gaming channel | No gaming signal in the text. Instagram 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) | Instagram exposes no location field at all. Region is unknown and must not be claimed. | required |
| ! | Like rate ≥ 1% of plays | 0.43% is below the floor for a genuinely engaged Instagram audience in this niche. Consistent with inflated plays, but also with a channel whose audience simply does not click like. Human check. | integrity |
| ✓ | Average is not one viral outlier (Instagram limit 16×) | Top post is 2.8× the median, within the normal spread for Instagram, so the average reflects repeatable performance. | integrity |
| ✓ | Comment volume matches the view counts | Median 77 comments against 3 median likes: a normal ratio. | integrity |
| ✓ | plays plausible for the followers count | 20,462 average plays against 104,812 followers (20%). | integrity |
| ✓ | Posted recently | Last post 11 day(s) ago. | preference |
| ✓ | Publishes on a regular schedule | Median 0.3 day(s) between posts; the 6 sampled posts span 9 days. | preference |
| ✓ | Sampled posts are recent enough to compare | The 6 sampled posts span 9 days, close enough together that their plays 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 | Instagram 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 |
