## 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

```python
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.
