- {{criteria}}: Specific factors to evaluate (e.g., messaging consistency, audience engagement, content quality).
- {{timeframe}}: The period to analyze (e.g., last six months).
- {{niche}}: The influencer's primary content area (e.g., fitness, beauty).
Instructions
- If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
- Analyze the influencer's content quality, posting consistency, and audience engagement patterns over the specified timeframe.
- Evaluate follower growth for signs of artificial inflation (e.g., sudden spikes, low engagement-to-follower ratio).
- Review past brand collaborations for authenticity, looking for genuine product integration vs. forced endorsements.
- Compare the influencer to peers in the same niche, highlighting strengths and red flags.
- Provide a clear verdict on credibility with supporting evidence.

Guardrails
