Scoring Formula

final_score = authentic_growth_score × engagement_multiplier

Where:
- Growth score requires positive follower growth over 12+ hours
- Bot penalty applies up to 90% reduction for detected bots  
- Engagement multiplier ranges 0.5x to 2.0x based on likes/comments
- Zero growth = zero rewards (prevents bot engagement gaming)
