Our Methodology
The Creator Performance Index (CPI) is an independent, data-driven standard designed to measure influence beyond vanity metrics.
1. Core Principles
Neutrality
Mediar charts operates independently of talent agencies and platforms. Rankings are automated based on performance data, not editorial selection.
Integrity
Once a chart is locked and published, it is immutable. We maintain a strict append-only history to ensure the historical record of influence remains tamper-proof.
Universality
We normalize data across disparate platforms—comparing a YouTube long-form creator with a TikTok short-form creator using a unified scoring language.
Verification
Only verified entities are eligible for global rankings. We rigorously filter bot activity and engagement farming to surface genuine audience command.
What We Consider
Mediar charts evaluates creators based on a combination of:
These signals are assessed within specific timeframes (weekly, monthly, or longer) to ensure rankings remain current and comparable.
What We Don't Do
Mediar charts does not favor creators based on popularity alone — performance over time is what matters.
Updates & Movement
Charts are updated on a regular schedule. Movement indicators (such as ↑ ↓ or New) reflect changes in performance relative to the previous period.
Historical data, such as peak rank and weeks on the chart, are preserved to provide context.
Independence & Integrity
Mediar charts operates as an independent index. All rankings are generated using the same methodology across countries, categories, and platforms.
Our goal is consistency, transparency, and trust, without overcomplication.
