Open Methodology

How the Intent Score Works

Every creator in FanRecon's database receives a 0-100 Intent Score calculated from 10 weighted signals. Here's exactly how it works โ€” no black boxes.

Score Breakdown

The Intent Score predicts how likely a creator is to sign with an agency. It combines presence, engagement, monetization, and authority signals into a single 0-100 number.

The 10 Signals

#1OF Profile Verified

25 pts

The single strongest signal. A verified OnlyFans profile confirms the creator is actively monetizing content โ€” not just exploring.

Scoring: Binary: 25 points if an OF profile exists, 0 if not.

#2Social Footprint

0โ€“15 pts

Creators with presence across multiple platforms โ€” Instagram, X, TikTok, Snapchat, Telegram โ€” signal a professional approach to content creation.

Scoring: Scaled by number of linked social platforms: 1 platform = 3pts, 2 = 6pts, 3 = 9pts, 4+ = 12pts, 6+ = 15pts.

#3Bio Language Analysis

0โ€“10 pts

We scan Reddit and TikTok bios for monetization keywords โ€” "subscribe", "exclusive content", "link in bio", "DM for collabs" โ€” that indicate commercial intent.

Scoring: Keyword matching against 30+ intent phrases. 1 match = 3pts, 2 = 6pts, 3+ = 10pts.

#4Link Hub Presence

0โ€“10 pts

Linktree, Beacons, or Hoobe links show an organized funnel โ€” the creator is deliberately routing fans toward monetization.

Scoring: 1 link hub = 7pts, 2+ = 10pts.

#5Engagement Level

0โ€“10 pts

OF favorites and TikTok followers serve as engagement proxies. Higher engagement = proven audience, making them more attractive to agencies.

Scoring: Logarithmic scaling: 100+ = 4pts, 1K+ = 6pts, 10K+ = 8pts, 100K+ = 10pts.

#6Competitor Platforms

0 or 8 pts

Creators already on Fansly or Fanvue have proven willingness to monetize on subscription platforms โ€” a strong indicator of agency readiness.

Scoring: Binary: 8 points if active on Fansly and/or Fanvue, 0 if not.

#7Content Volume

0โ€“7 pts

Total photos + videos on OnlyFans. More content = more invested in creation, lower risk of churn after signing.

Scoring: Tiered: 1+ items = 1pt, 10+ = 3pts, 50+ = 5pts, 200+ = 7pts.

#8Gift Economy

0 or 5 pts

A Throne wishlist or CashApp presence means fans are already spending money on this creator โ€” a direct signal of monetization potential.

Scoring: Binary: 5 points if Throne or CashApp is linked, 0 if not.

#9Pricing Signal

0 or 5 pts

Having a non-zero subscription price means the creator has made the decision to charge for content โ€” they're past the experimentation phase.

Scoring: Binary: 5 points if subscription price > $0, 0 if free.

#10Platform Authority

0โ€“5 pts

Reddit karma reflects consistent presence and community engagement. Higher karma = more established, less likely to be a throwaway account.

Scoring: Tiered: 100+ = 1pt, 1K+ = 3pts, 10K+ = 4pts, 50K+ = 5pts.
