Early reading. We have captured 1 original post for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.

A typical post picks up 46 interactions against 1.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Posts are seen about 31K times each, and 0.148% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.67% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 7% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 1 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 46K interactions, about 1005x its own typical post. Only 1 original post have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,071 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,527 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

    Legally, the DOJ is clearly violating the Epstein Transparency Act. Not a close call: - Production did not meet the deadline. - There are about 4k new Fri files - a paltry portion of the total. (Takes less than a month to redact those) - Most other docs were already public
