What we checked, in full
20 checks, 16 passed, 3 to review
| ✓ | Metrics came from the platform | Every audience figure here is a value YouTube'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 views ≥ 20,000 | 26,045 average views, median 8,403, across 6 posts. | required |
| ! | Typical post also clears 20,000 | The average clears the floor but the median post gets 8,403 views. The brief's bar is met on the average; a sponsored slot would more likely perform near the median. | integrity |
| ✓ | Tech / dev / software engineering | 11 distinct dev signals in the bio and post text: python, frontend, backend, fullstack, web dev, kubernetes. | required |
| ✓ | Not a gaming channel | YouTube's own category for the sampled posts: People & Blogs. | 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 ≥ 0.5% of views | 4.67% like rate, 0.217% comment rate, averaged per post. | integrity |
| ! | Average is not one viral outlier (YouTube limit 11×) | Top post is 12.0× the median (100,671 vs 8,403 views), against a typical YouTube spread well below 11×. The average is carried by one hit. Budget against the median, roughly 8,403 views, not the headline average. | integrity |
| ✓ | Comment volume matches the view counts | Median 19 comments against 472 median likes: a normal ratio. | integrity |
| ✓ | views plausible for the subscribers count | 26,045 average views against 38,500 subscribers (68%). | integrity |
| ✓ | Posted recently | Last post 10 day(s) ago. | preference |
| ✓ | Publishes on a regular schedule | Median 5 day(s) between posts; the 6 sampled posts span 27 days. | preference |
| ✓ | Sampled posts are recent enough to compare | The 6 sampled posts span 27 days, close enough together that their views counts are comparable. | integrity |
| ✓ | Same numbers from two endpoints of the same API | 1 post(s) appeared in both the YouTube search index and the profile feed. View counts agree to within 0.2%. | integrity |
| ✓ | Verified against the platform's own published feed | 6 video(s) cross-checked against YouTube's official RSS feed for this channel. View counts agree to within 0.1%, likes to within 0.0%. Two independent sources, same numbers. | integrity |
| ✓ | 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) | 2 of 2 recent videos carry YouTube's paid-promotion flag. | not published |
