How it works

Most tools read the label.
We open the box.

A follower count is a label. CreatorScore collects every public signal across 12+ platforms, transcribes and watches the actual content, analyzes the audience comment-by-comment, and scores it through 7 specialized agents — into one auditable number.

The scope

A creator's risk doesn't live on one platform.

A clean Instagram feed can sit next to a controversial X account or an off-brand Twitch stream. Single-platform tools miss it. We see the whole person.

The pipeline

Four stages. In order. Nothing faked.

Here's exactly what happens between "enter a handle" and "here's the score." Each stage feeds the next.

STAGE 01

Collection

We pull the creator's full footprint from every connected platform in parallel — and we don't sample.

  • Profiles — followers, following, bio, engagement, verification
  • Content — posts, videos, reels, Shorts, clips, tweets, threads (years back)
  • Comments & replies — the audience's actual words, not just counts
  • Live streams + follower-growth history for spike detection

For a full background check we paginate up to a decade of content. The 2019 tweet a brand is terrified of? We find it.

STAGE 02

Multimodal analysis

This is where we separate from every metrics-only tool. A caption says 'fun day at the beach.' The video might say something else. So we analyze the actual media.

  • Video transcription — we read what was said, not just the caption
  • Visual frame analysis — NSFW, violence, unsafe context in the footage itself
  • On-screen text (OCR) — burned-in captions and story overlays
  • Brand mention extraction — organic vs. sponsored, with sentiment

Most 'brand safety' tools scan captions and hashtags. We transcribe the audio and watch the frames. A creator can't hide a problem in a video just because the caption is clean.

STAGE 03

Audience forensics

A creator is only as safe as their audience. We analyze the comments themselves — one by one.

  • Bot detection — per-comment scoring to surface purchased engagement
  • Engagement-pod clustering — the coordinated rings that fake organic reach
  • Comment sentiment — context-adjusted so sarcasm isn't miscounted
  • Toxicity analysis — a hostile community even when content is clean

Fake followers are easy to buy and easy to hide from a follower count. They're very hard to hide from a comment-by-comment forensic analysis.

STAGE 04

Scoring

Only now — content watched, audience analyzed — do we score. Seven specialized agents, each a domain expert, blend into one 1-100 number.

  • 7 agents score 7 dimensions independently
  • Knockout factors cap the score for severe issues
  • Tier normalization keeps micro and mega creators on a level field
  • Every flag links to the specific post that triggered it

One generic AI giving an opinion is a vibe. Seven specialized agents, each scoring one dimension from evidence, is a system.

The 7 agents

Seven specialists. Not one generalist.

Each agent evaluates one dimension from evidence. The weighted blend is your score. The brand isn't trusting "an AI" — they're trusting seven independent reads that have to agree.

20%

Content Risk

Hate speech, NSFW, violence, profanity, visual risk — across captions, transcripts, and frames

20%

Authenticity

Real vs. bot/purchased audience, blended with follower-growth authenticity

15%

Brand Safety

FTC disclosure, public controversy, brand-mention patterns, web reputation

15%

Audience Quality

Community health + engagement depth — substantive comments vs. spam

10%

Sentiment

Sentiment stability over time + how the audience actually feels

10%

Community Trust

FTC compliance + creator conduct — how they handle conflict and crises

10%

ROI Prediction

Forecasted partnership performance — engagement, community health, growth

= Your CreatorScore

One 1-100 number, tiered Exceptional → Poor, auditable to the post.

The fairness layer

Can't be gamed. Can't be bought.

Knockout factors

Severe issues cap the score, so a high engagement rate can't paper over a real problem.

  • Bot audience over 60% → capped at 20
  • Engagement pods over 80% → capped at 30
  • Hate-speech signal over 90% → capped at 35
  • NSFW signal over 95% → capped at 35
  • Sponsored content under 10% disclosure → capped at 35

Tier normalization

A focused 5K-follower B2B creator and a 5M-follower lifestyle creator are scored on a level playing field. A clean micro-creator can score Excellent.

Scale alone doesn't earn or lose points. Content quality, audience authenticity, and brand safety do.

No black box

The pipeline produces an auditable case file, not just a number.

  • Per-agent breakdown — see what pulled the score up or down
  • Evidence-linked flags — every flag ties to a specific post or comment
  • Plain-English narrative — written after the real drivers are computed
  • Score velocity — 30/60/90-day trend, not just a snapshot

Always fresh

A reputation isn't a one-time snapshot. The score re-runs on a rolling 30-day cycle across every connected platform.

Live monitoring

Score drop, new flag, new sponsored deal, audience-health shift — the creator and any watching brand are notified the same day. High-frequency signals (live streams, breaking activity) are polled more often than the monthly base cycle.

Why the depth matters.

For creators
  • Pre-vetted, in public. Brands open one link instead of spending two weeks verifying your numbers.
  • Defend your rate. ROI prediction + audience health + clean history is the case file for charging more.
  • Fix what's flagged. Every flag is evidence-linked, so you know exactly what to address — and the next rescore proves it.
For brands
  • Brand safety in one number. Seven agents, knockout protection, and multimodal content analysis — you're not partnering blind.
  • The whole creator. Risk that hides on a secondary account surfaces because we see all 12+ platforms.
  • Auditable decisions. When legal asks 'why this creator,' the answer is an evidence-linked report, not a gut feel.

That's the difference between an analytics dashboard and a trust score.

Run the full pipeline on any creator — including yourself. See the score, the agents, and the evidence behind it.

Frequently asked questions

Do you analyze the actual video, or just the caption?+

The actual video. Every video and Short is transcribed (we read what was said, not just the caption), and we extract and analyze video frames and thumbnails for visual risk that never appears in text. On-screen text and story overlays are read via OCR. A clean caption on a risky video doesn't get a pass — and a good creator gets full credit for clean content a text-only keyword scanner would have wrongly flagged.

How do you detect fake followers and bots?+

At the comment level, not the follower level. Follower counts are trivial to inflate and hard to verify. We score comments individually for bot signals, detect engagement-pod clusters (the coordinated 20-200 account rings that fake organic reach), and cross-reference follower-growth spikes against content output. That's how we tell a real 500K audience apart from a bought one.

What are the 7 agents?+

Content Risk (20%), Authenticity (20%), Brand Safety (15%), Audience Quality (15%), Sentiment (10%), Community Trust (10%), and ROI Prediction (10%). Each is a specialized evaluator scoring one dimension from evidence. The weighted blend is the final 1-100 score. The brand isn't trusting 'an AI' — they're trusting seven independent reads that have to agree.

Can the score be gamed by buying engagement?+

No. Knockout factors cap the score when severe issues are detected: a bot audience over 60% caps the score at 20, engagement pods over 80% cap at 30, and so on. A high engagement rate can't paper over a real problem — which is exactly why brands trust the number.

Is it fair to smaller creators?+

Yes. Tier normalization means a focused 5K-follower creator and a 5M-follower creator are scored on a level playing field. A clean micro-creator can score Excellent. Scale alone doesn't earn or lose points — content quality, audience authenticity, and brand safety do.

How current is the score?+

It re-runs on a rolling 30-day cycle across every connected platform, with high-frequency signals (live streams, breaking activity, new stories) polled more often. If something material changes — a score drop, a new flag, a new sponsored deal — the creator and any watching brand are notified the same day.

Can I see why a flag was raised?+

Always. Every risk flag links to the specific post, comment, or video frame that triggered it, with the reasoning. There's no black box — a creator can see exactly what to fix, and a brand can see exactly why a flag exists and decide whether it's a dealbreaker or a non-issue for their campaign.
