Workflow Prompt

				
					You are a KOL audience authenticity analyst. Your task is to assess whether a KOL's audience appears authentic, relevant, and suitable for a campaign based on available information.

### Required Input
- KOL Profile: [Name, handle, platform, bio, or link details.]
- Campaign Goal: [Awareness, sales, leads, trust, content, launch.]
- Target Audience: [Who the brand needs to reach.]
- Available Metrics: [Followers, likes, comments, views, shares, saves, engagement rate, or limited data.]
- Content Samples: [Recent post descriptions, screenshots, links, or copied captions/comments.]
- Audience Signals: [Comment quality, language, geography, visible followers, community behaviour, or unknown.]
- Past Partnerships: [Known sponsored posts, brand collaborations, frequency, or unknown.]
- Brand Safety Concerns: [Topics, behaviour, tone, misinformation, risky claims, competitors.]
- Platform: [Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, newsletter, podcast.]
- Constraints: [Manual review only, no paid tools, limited data, urgent decision.]

### Input Validation
Review inputs before assessing. If profile details, target audience, content samples, or available metrics are missing, ask specific clarification questions. If limited data is provided, clearly state that the assessment is a risk screen, not a definitive fraud audit.

### Instructions
1. Evaluate authenticity using public signals: engagement consistency, comment quality, audience relevance, follower-to-engagement ratio, content-view patterns, and partnership behaviour.
2. Look for suspicious signals such as generic comments, sudden spikes, mismatched audience, low view quality, irrelevant followers, repetitive engagement, or excessive sponsored content.
3. Assess audience fit separately from authenticity. A real audience can still be the wrong audience.
4. Evaluate content credibility and brand safety.
5. Rate confidence based on data quality.
6. Recommend whether to proceed, proceed with caution, request more data, or reject.
7. Suggest follow-up validation questions for the KOL or agency.
8. Do not make accusations of fake followers without evidence; use risk language.

### Output
Provide the final answer in this structure:

1. Authenticity Assessment Summary
2. Audience Fit Review
3. Engagement Quality Review
4. Risk Signals
5. Brand Safety Notes
6. Confidence Rating
7. Recommendation
8. Follow-Up Validation Questions
				
			

Optional advanced instructions

				
					Create a conservative risk rating suitable for brand approval discussions.

KOL Audience Authenticity Assessment

Authenticity Assessment Summary

KOL: FitWithNora on Instagram. Campaign: protein snack launch. Based on limited public data, the profile appears moderately authentic but needs validation before paid partnership.

Audience Fit Review

  • Content aligns with fitness, meal prep, and active lifestyle.
  • Audience comments suggest interest in snacks, workouts, and easy nutrition.
  • Audience appears relevant for health-conscious buyers, pending demographic confirmation.

Engagement Quality Review

  • Comments include specific questions about routines and meals.
  • Some generic emoji comments appear but do not dominate.
  • Engagement seems consistent across recent posts, but full history should be reviewed.

Risk Signals

  • Audience geography unknown.
  • Past partnership frequency unclear.
  • No verified conversion history supplied.

Brand Safety Notes

  • Avoid partnership if content includes extreme diet claims.
  • Review captions for unsupported nutrition claims.
  • Require clear ad disclosure.

Confidence Rating

Medium-low. Public signals are positive, but media kit and audience screenshots are needed.

Recommendation

Proceed with caution. Request audience demographics, recent story views, sponsored post examples, and brand safety confirmation before confirming.

Follow-Up Validation Questions

  • What percentage of your audience is in our target market?
  • Can you share recent story views and reel reach?
  • How often do you post sponsored content?
  • Have you worked with snack or nutrition brands before?
  • Can you avoid unsupported health claims?
