Scoring & Ranking

Score each channel by:

• followers → normalized 0-1 (cap at 500K), weight 0.35
• avg_engagement = (likes + comments + shares) / views → weight 0.35
• verified → 0 or 1, weight 0.30

score = 0.35 * min(followers / 500000, 1.0) + 0.35 * min(avg_engagement / 0.10, 1.0) + 0.30 * int(verified)

Classification

Score	Tier	Label
≥ 0.70	A	PRIME_PROSPECT
0.40–0.69	B	WARM_LEAD
< 0.40	C	LOW_PRIORITY

Edge Cases

• Mixed results with consumers: Filter by channel.followers > 1000 to focus on established brands.
• Keyword too broad: "fitness" returns individual users. Use "fitness business", "gym owner", "fitness studio" instead.
• No contact info in TikTok: Cross-reference with Instagram or website links in bio.
• Duplicate channels: Same brand may appear multiple times — deduplicate by channel.username.
• Inflated views: TikTok can have high views but low followers for viral one-offs — balance both metrics.
