Key Fields Explained:

• trend_6month: Is each creator accelerating (+8.3%) or declining (-1.8%)? Shows market momentum shifts.
• sponsored_video_percentage: Channels with >30% sponsorship risk looking like infomercials. Credibility erosion.
• brand_concentration: If one brand provides >60% of sponsorships, that channel is dependent on them. Risky partnership.
• opportunity_score: Markets where coverage is <25% and search volume is high. That's your opening.
