OUR APPROACH TO EVIDENCE

Understand the evidence behind your decision.

A useful insight depends on what was observed, when it was observed and what you are comparing it with.

RENFLUENCE RESEARCH

AI Video Analysis

Source: Renfluence analysis, 9 October 2026. Product categories checked in October 2026. Market findings describe the stated samples and periods, not a predicted result for a future campaign.

01

Start with the source and the period

Read a result in relation to its platform, content sample and observation period. Available data can differ between networks, profiles and content types.

02

Know what the number measures

Views, followers and interactions answer different questions. An engagement rate also depends on its denominator. Check the definition before comparing results.

03

Distinguish the intended audience from actual followers

The Target Audience filter uses an AI estimate from the analyzed videos: who the content is aimed at. It is not a measurement of who follows or watches the account.

Actual follower information is available only for connected accounts. Read those figures with their stated source and coverage.

04

Positive and negative engagement

Renfluence uses two comment categories: positive and negative. Every analysed comment that is not negative counts as positive engagement, because participation without a negative reaction has value in itself. Questions and simple participation can therefore count as positive without expressing explicit praise.

05

Compare within a relevant context

A useful benchmark needs a relevant comparison group and a clear time window. Consider the platform, content format and category before interpreting a difference.

06

Read content analysis with context

Themes, brand presence and sentiment help you examine content. Review important conclusions alongside the source material, particularly where meaning depends on humour, language or context.

A WORKING GLOSSARY

Know what
you’re looking at.

Views
Content exposure according to the source platform’s definition. Check the time window and whether repeat views are included.
Interactions
The actions counted in the report, such as likes or comments. Different sources can include different actions.
Engagement rate
A ratio. Read both the numerator and denominator before comparing values across reports.
Sentiment
Renfluence classifies analysed comments as positive or negative. Every non-negative comment counts as positive engagement, including questions and participation without explicit praise.
Benchmark
A comparison within a defined group. Platform, category, format and period affect its relevance.

Use these definitions alongside the source, sample and period in your report. Our team can explain the coverage relevant to your use case.
