What we checked

20 checks, 8 passed, 2 to review
Metrics came from the platform Every audience figure here is a value LinkedIn'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 7 recent posts sampled (target 3). not published
LinkedIn floor: ≥80 median reactions and ≥4,000 followers LinkedIn does not publish view counts on public posts, so reach is judged on reactions. 163 median reactions, 80,379 followers. required
View counts LinkedIn exposes no impression or view count on public posts. Any tool quoting a LinkedIn creator's "views" is estimating. not published
Tech / dev / software engineering 10 distinct dev signals in the bio and post text: cloud, database, software, developer, engineer, refactor. required
Not a gaming channel No gaming signal in the text. LinkedIn 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
Engagement rate LinkedIn 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 No view counts on this platform. not published
! Posted recently Last post was 120 days ago. preference
Publishes on a regular schedule Median 30.8 day(s) between posts; the 7 sampled posts span 217 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 LinkedIn 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
