| ✓ | 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 | 159,768 average plays, median 88,918, across 6 posts. | required |
| ✓ | Typical post also clears 20,000 | Median plays 88,918 and outlier-trimmed mean 140,110 both clear the floor. A sponsored post should land in that range. | integrity |
| ✓ | Tech / dev / software engineering | 10 distinct dev signals in the bio and post text: javascript, java, c#, browser, software, programming. | 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 | 2.49% like rate, 0.221% comment rate, averaged per post. | integrity |
| ✓ | Average is not one viral outlier (Instagram limit 16×) | Top post is 4.4× the median, within the normal spread for Instagram, so the average reflects repeatable performance. | integrity |
| ✓ | Comment volume matches the view counts | Median 59 comments against 1,137 median likes: a normal ratio. | integrity |
| ✓ | plays plausible for the followers count | 159,768 average plays against 65,782 followers (243%). | integrity |
| ✓ | Posted recently | Last post 10 day(s) ago. | preference |
| ! | Publishes on a regular schedule | Median 84 days between posts across the sample: too sparse to plan a campaign around. | preference |
| ! | Sampled posts are recent enough to compare | The 6 sampled posts span 1511 days. Plays counts accumulate over time, so an average across posts this far apart is weighted toward the oldest one and overstates current reach. | 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 |
