How KALO IQ verifies creators
The word verified gets thrown around until it means nothing. Here's what it actually means with us: a four-stage process, automated checks first, then real humans, before any creator shows up in your search.
Most databases are scraped and left to rot. Ours is screened on the way in and re-screened over time. That's the whole pitch and it's why the number is 10 million and not 150 million of mostly noise.
Step 1: Pull the data
We collect each creator's public profile, audience and engagement signals across the platforms they post on. Raw material, no judgement yet.
Step 2: Run automated fraud checks
Algorithms flag bought followers, engagement pods and suspicious spikes before a human ever looks. Cheap fakery gets caught here.
Step 3: Human review
A 15-person verification team checks flagged and borderline accounts by hand. Only approved creators get listed. Yes, people, looking at profiles. That's the slow expensive part nobody wants to pay for.
Step 4: Re-check over time
Listed creators get re-screened on a schedule, so a profile that buys followers next quarter drops back out. Verification isn't a one-time stamp.

How KALO IQ Verifies Creators FAQ
What does verified mean on KALO IQ?
It means a creator passed automated fraud checks and human review by a 15-person team before being listed and gets re-screened over time, not a one-time label.
Does a human actually review creators?
Yes. A 15-person verification team checks flagged and borderline accounts by hand and only approved creators get listed in the database.
How does KALO IQ catch fake followers?
Automated checks flag bought followers, engagement pods and suspicious spikes, then humans review the edge cases. You can also run fake-follower checks on each profile.
Does verification expire?
Listed creators are re-screened on a schedule, so a profile that starts buying followers later drops out rather than keeping a permanent stamp.
