Trust method

How we judge guidance

Before You Post turns source-backed platform guidance into short creator actions. Labels such as “practical interpretation” and “official source + creator pattern” explain the evidence behind each card. It does not claim to reveal private ranking formulas or guarantee reach.

1

Official sources

Platform help centers, creator resources, policies, and first-party documentation.

2

Official + interpretation

A practical creator action derived carefully from first-party guidance, without claiming a public ranking weight.

3

Creator pattern

A useful working hypothesis that is clearly labeled and should be tested with your own audience. Some cards combine this with official guidance.

Important limitation

Platforms change frequently and do not publish exact signal weights. Confidence describes the quality of the evidence, not a promise of performance.
