2 Services Overview

CanPostThis provides trust intelligence services for online identities and content sources. The platform comprises three product lines:

P1 — Influencer Intelligence Dashboard

A B2B SaaS tool enabling performance marketing agencies to screen influencer profiles across up to 9 social media platforms. Features include multi-profile comparison, bot and fake-follower scoring, engagement analysis, white-label PDF report export, and CSV batch upload. Subscription-based pricing applies.

P2 — Trust API for AI Agents

A machine-readable REST API providing trust scores for URLs, social media handles, and online sources. Designed for integration into RAG pipelines, LLM deployments, AI agent frameworks (LangChain, n8n, Make.com), and developer workflows. Usage-based and flat-rate pricing tiers are available.

P3 — EUDI Wallet EAA Provider

CanPostThis acts as a non-qualified Electronic Attestation of Attributes (EAA) Provider within the German EUDI Wallet ecosystem under eIDAS 2.0 (Regulation EU 2024/1183). Trust Score Attestations are issued as SD-JWT Verifiable Credentials (vc+sd-jwt) via the OpenID4VCI protocol. See Section 5 for full details.

3 Trust Score — Methodology & Limitations

3.1 How the Trust Score is Calculated

The Trust Score is a heuristic, confidence-weighted numerical value ranging from 0 to 100, computed automatically by the CanPostThis scoring engine. It is derived from multiple observable signals, which may include:

• Follower authenticity indicators (bot probability, account age distribution)
• Engagement rate relative to platform benchmarks
• Account activity patterns and growth trajectories
• Bot activity probability based on behavioural signals
• Editorial bias and content quality indicators (for media sources)
• Cross-platform identity consistency signals
• Source reputation and historical accuracy data (where available)

Each sub-score (Bot Score, Bias Score, Engagement Score) is computed independently and combined into an overall Trust Score with an associated Confidence value (0.0–1.0), which reflects the statistical reliability of the result given available data.

3.2 How Scores are Displayed

Scores are displayed in the dashboard as numerical values with associated sub-score breakdowns and a confidence indicator. In PDF reports, scores are presented with a summary interpretation. Via the API, all scores are returned in structured JSON format including trust_score, bot_score, bias_score, confidence, platform, and source_url.

3.3 Limitations & Disclaimer

• Scores are based on publicly available data at the time of analysis and may not reflect subsequent changes.
• Scores may vary over time as underlying signals change.
• A high Trust Score does not guarantee authenticity; a low Trust Score does not constitute proof of fraud or deception.
• CanPostThis does not accept liability for commercial, legal, or reputational decisions made solely or primarily on the basis of a Trust Score.
• Users must exercise independent judgment and are responsible for how they use and communicate Trust Score results.
• Trust Scores must not be used as the sole basis for defamatory, discriminatory, or legally consequential statements about individuals or organisations.

4 YouTube Comment Quality Analysis

4.1 How the Analysis Works

The YouTube Comment Quality Analysis feature evaluates the quality and authenticity of comments on a given YouTube channel or video using automated text and behavioural analysis. The following signals are assessed:

• Comment length & substance: Filtering of very short or low-effort comments
• Topic relevance: Semantic proximity of comments to the channel's content category
• Duplicate detection: Identification of copy-pasted or near-identical comment patterns
• Generic phrase filtering: Detection of engagement-bait phrases and bot-typical language patterns
• Commenter diversity: Distribution of unique commenters vs. repeat commenters
• Engagement rate benchmarking: Comparison of comment volume to subscriber count and view count against platform benchmarks

Results are aggregated into a Comment Quality Score and presented with a breakdown of contributing signals.

4.2 Data Source

Analysis is performed using data retrieved via the YouTube Data API v3, provided by Google LLC. The availability, completeness, and accuracy of results depend on YouTube API availability, rate limits, and the public accessibility of the channel or video being analysed. Private or restricted channels cannot be analysed.

4.3 Limitations

• Comment quality analysis results are indicative only and do not constitute a definitive assessment of audience authenticity or channel credibility.
• The analysis is based on a sample of comments and may not represent the full comment history.
• CanPostThis is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google LLC.
• Users are responsible for complying with YouTube's Terms of Service when using data obtained through this feature.
