## Method

- **Instagram highlights**: each story was opened in the browser, its frame was drawn to a canvas, then several frames were placed side by side and screenshotted. The results are contact sheets in `assets/evidence/`.
- **Video stories**: the frame was taken at the middle of the video (at most at second 12), so it does not cover the whole video.
- **Social media numbers**: read from public profiles on the same date.
- **Colors**: measured from screenshots with Python (PIL), by grouping pixels with high saturation.

## Limitations

> [!WARNING]
> - Story screenshots are low resolution and have gone through Instagram compression. The measured colors are **estimates**, not official brand values.
> - About the first 60 items of the XS-2 highlight were read.
> - No access to internal data (tickets, analytics, CRM).
> - Media claims (for example "millions of viewers") were not independently verified.
