Scoring & Ranking
Score each account by:
engagement_rate = (likeCount + commentCount) / followerCount→ weight 0.4followerCount→ normalized 0-1, weight 0.3has_business_bio(bio contains phone/website/address keywords) → weight 0.3
score = 0.4 * min(engagement_rate / 0.05, 1.0) + 0.3 * min(followerCount / 50000, 1.0) + 0.3 * int(has_business_bio)Classification

| ≥ 0.70 | A | PRIME_PROSPECT |
| 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.
