Vet creators before you pay them.
On a typical account, roughly a fifth of followers are fake or inactive. A big number on a profile tells you almost nothing about whether real people will see the post and buy. Idukki scores a creator on audience authenticity, engagement quality and fake-follower risk, so your budget reaches humans.

The follower count is the wrong number
Followers are cheap. A few dollars buys tens of thousands of them, and the market for fake engagement has kept pace: bought likes, comment pods, view farms. A profile can look like a star and deliver to an audience that is half bots and half people in a country you do not ship to. The brand finds out after the invoice clears.
Vetting is the fix, and it is not guesswork. The signals that separate a real audience from an inflated one are measurable, and most of them are visible before you ever sign a contract.
What we screen for
Engagement, scored by tier
A 2% engagement rate is healthy for a mega account and thin for a nano one. We benchmark each creator against the floor for their size, not a flat number that flatters the big accounts.
Fake-follower detection
Like-bots inflate likes but rarely comment, and purchased batches arrive in sudden spikes. A near-zero comment ratio and a vertical jump in the follower graph are two of the cleanest tells.
Engagement quality, not just volume
A wall of generic emoji is not engagement. We weight specific, on-topic comments and real saves and shares over raw like counts that anyone can buy for a few dollars.
Audience fit
Even a real audience in the wrong country or age bracket will not convert. Authenticity and relevance are different questions, and a creator can pass one while failing the other.
