What this is, and isn't

Qloo affinity is cultural-taste relevance within a query, not purchase intent, audience share, conversion or ROI.
Audience lift and the distinctiveness quadrant are Sondo heuristics computed from ranks and popularity.
Only entity anchors, Qloo age buckets, binary gender and a locality are modeled; other audience attributes are not.
Campaign concepts are hypotheses grounded in affinity data; validate them before committing budget.
Not modeled: income level; job title; core values; psychographic preferences (indie music, outdoor weekends, easygoing comedy).
