Pass

60.6F / 100

95% of the weighted evidence measured

Why this verdict

F 60.6 < 62 and unmitigated red flag(s): DEMOGRAPHIC_MISMATCH.

DEMOGRAPHIC_MISMATCH: m4 < 0.35 (observed m4 0.23)

Scores, flags and verdicts are computed in code. The agents can only argue with the ledger; they never set the score.

Six audience metrics

Bar = this target; tick = shortlist average.

m1 Two-way audience affinity

0.76

Harmonic mean of the buyer audience’s affinity for the target and the target audience’s affinity for the buyer’s brands.

m2 Taste-profile overlap

0.17

Rank-weighted overlap of the two audiences’ top-50 cultural taste tags.

m3 Cross-domain agreement

0.80

How strongly the target’s audience embraces the buyer audience’s favourite artists, shows, films and podcasts.

m4 Demographic alignment

0.23

Similarity of the two audiences’ age and gender over-index profiles.

m5 Geographic footprint

0.54

Correlation of metro-level audience affinity, relative to the screened cohort.

m6 Momentum not measured

n/a

Trending rank change over the last 4 weeks vs the 8 before, relative to the cohort.

Qloo's trending series did not move for this brand or the cohort in the 12 weeks to 2026-10-23, so momentum is not measurable for this window.

How F is built

Qloo explainability: the buyer-side signals driving the forward affinity are Los Angeles Dodgers (1.00).
