Scoring & Ranking

Score each creator by:

```
followers
```
→ normalized 0-1 (cap at 1M), weight 0.35

engagement_rate = (likes + comments) / views

→ weight 0.35

```
video_views
```
→ normalized 0-1 (cap at 1M), weight 0.30

python

score = 0.35 * min(followers / 1000000, 1.0) + 0.35 * min(engagement_rate / 0.10, 1.0) + 0.30 * min(views / 1000000, 1.0)

Classification

Score	Tier	Label
≥ 0.70	A	PRIME_CREATOR
0.40–0.69	B	GOOD_FIT
< 0.40	C	LOW_PRIORITY

Edge Cases

No music URL: Requires TikTok sound page URL. Tell user to find the sound on TikTok and copy the URL from the "sounds" page.
Sound removed: If sound was taken down for copyright, URL returns empty. Try alternative sound.
Trending sound has too many creators: Use maxItems cap and sort by engagement.
Duplicate creators: Same creator may use the sound multiple times — deduplicate by channel.username.
Regional sound: Some sounds trend in specific countries — results may reflect that audience.
