| 0.40–0.69 | B | WARM_LEAD |

Edge Cases
- Hashtag too broad:
#foodreturns millions of posts from consumers, not businesses. Use niche tags like#restaurantowneror#foodbiz. - No business in bio: Filter by accounts that have website links or phone in bio.
- Consumer accounts mixed in: Filter by followerCount > 500 and postCount > 20.
- Private account: No post data — skip.
- Duplicate accounts: Same brand may post under multiple hashtags — deduplicate by username.
