How to use this report

Set realistic client KPIs. If a niche's median engagement is 3%, don't promise a new client 10% in month one.
Size a pitch. "Top accounts in your niche post {videos_per_creator}x more than average" is a concrete, sourced stat, not an assumption.
Spot under-saturated niches. High engagement with a low creator count is room to move before it gets crowded.

Get this broken down for your exact niche, updated continuously, not just the top 20 categories here.
