Fit Scorer
Objectively evaluate how well an influencer matches your brand by scoring them across five weighted dimensions, turning gut feel into a defensible go/pass decision.
Quick Start
Score one influencer:
Score @[handle] for [brand/campaign] and tell me if they're a good fit
Compare and rank a shortlist:
Compare and rank these influencers for [campaign]: @influencer1, @influencer2, @influencer3
Skill Contract
- Reads: brand/campaign context, target audience definition, campaign goal, and a shortlist of influencer handles (supplied by the user or carried over from
influencer-discovery). Optional prior audience profiles from memory/influencer/audience-mapper/ and competitor partner benchmarks from memory/influencer/competitor-tracker/. For rostered creators, read partnership history and audience-stat provenance from memory/creators/<handle-slug>.md — the creator-registry roster record — as Partnership Potential inputs.
- Writes: a fit-score report (per-dimension raw scores, weighted totals, verdict, ranked comparison) to
memory/influencer/fit-scorer/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md.
- Promotes: top-ranked handles, final scores, and the go/pass verdict to
memory/hot-cache.md so downstream skills pick the right targets.
- Done when:
- Every shortlisted influencer has a weighted total score on the 1-5 scale with per-dimension justifications.
- A ranked comparison and an explicit verdict (Highly Recommended / Recommended / Consider / Pass) exist for each candidate.
- The report is saved to the family memory path and top picks are promoted to the hot cache.
- Primary next skill: competitor-tracker — benchmark your top-scored picks against the creators competitors already partner with.
Handoff Summary
Emit the standard shape from skill-contract.md §Handoff Summary Format.
Data Sources
This family needs no live integrations (Tier 1). Fit Scorer works end to end by asking the user for the inputs it scores — handles, audience targets, brand values, and any metrics they have. A connector sharpens the numbers but none is required.
~~influencer database — follower counts, audience demographics, and partnership history.
~~social platform analytics — engagement rate, comment quality samples, posting cadence, growth trend.
~~audience intelligence — real-vs-bot follower estimates and audience overlap with your target.
- Roster record (keyless Tier 1) — prior contact, response reputation, and delivery history come from
memory/creators/<handle-slug>.md when the creator is rostered (creator-registry curates it); ~~CRM is an optional Tier-2 sharpener for the same history when no roster record exists.
With zero integrations, ask the user to supply each value the scoring tables request; the framework and weighting still produce a defensible ranking. See CONNECTORS.md for the free/keyless recipe per category.
Instructions
All fill-in tables and the comparison/report layouts live in references/scoring-templates.md — copy the matching block for each step.
Define the scoring framework. Set the five dimensions, weights (default below; tune per goal via the custom-weighting matrix), and the 1-5 scale. Use the Step 1 template.
C³ ACE alignment & veto gate. This skill is the C³ Creator scorer (ACE). Map dimensions onto ACE: Audience Match → Audience; Engagement Quality → Engagement; the Brand Safety sub-check → Credibility (C1). Note: the value/aesthetic/messaging-fit part of Brand Alignment is creator × brand fit, which C³ scores in ROI.Orchestration (O1), not ACE — ACE is brand-independent, so keep brand-fit out of Credibility. Before ranking, screen every creator against the three ACE veto items; any failure is disqualifying → verdict PASS (do not partner) AND cap the Final Rating at the Poor / Below-Average band (≤ 2.9 / 5, i.e. ACE ≤ 59/100) so the score never contradicts the decline. State the veto ID + evidence:
| Veto |
Item |
Fail condition |
| A2 |
Real-Follower Rate |
< 70% real followers, or audit refused (follower fraud) |
| C1 |
Brand Safety |
disqualifying content / active scandal |
| E2 |
Engagement Authenticity |
pod / bought engagement |
Score Audience Match — target-vs-actual demographics plus audience quality (real/active/bot %). Step 2 template.
Score Content Quality — production value, cadence, content mix, best examples, concerns. Step 3 template.
Score Brand Alignment — value/aesthetic/messaging fit and the Brand Safety check (feeds ACE C1). Step 4 template.
Score Engagement Quality — engagement rate vs industry avg, authenticity indicators, pod/buying signs (feeds ACE E2). Step 5 template.
Score Partnership Potential — partnership history, professionalism, exclusivity/availability, estimated value; pull prior-partnership and response-history facts from the memory/creators/ roster record when one exists. Step 6 template.
Calculate the final score — roll raw × weight into the weighted total, apply the interpretation band, write the verdict and expected performance. Step 7 template.
For multiple influencers, produce the ranking summary, dimension-by-dimension comparison, and prioritize/combine/pass recommendation. Step 8 template.
Save the report to memory/influencer/fit-scorer/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md and promote top picks + verdict to memory/hot-cache.md.
Compact Example
User: "Compare @ecofashionista, @greenwardrobe, @sustainablesarah for our sustainable fashion brand (goal: conversion)."
Output: Each scored across the five dimensions with conversion weighting (Audience 35%, Brand 20%). @sustainablesarah ranks #1 (4.4/5) on highest audience match and authentic engagement; @greenwardrobe flagged DONE_WITH_CONCERNS on a borderline real-follower rate (A2 watch); ranked comparison + go/pass verdicts saved, top pick promoted to hot cache.

- Sibling skills: influencer-discovery, competitor-tracker, audience-mapper, outreach-manager.
Next Best Skill
Primary: competitor-tracker — benchmark your top-scored picks against the creators competitors already work with before you commit budget.
Alternates (same discover phase):
- influencer-discovery — if the shortlist is too thin to rank, source more candidates.
- audience-mapper — if audience-match scores are uncertain, tighten the target-audience definition first.
Termination note: Track a visited-set of skills invoked this session. If the recommended next skill has already run, stop and report the chain complete rather than re-invoking it. Stop after at most 3 hops (max-depth 3) and hand back to the user with the saved report path.
