Read the postEvery line is a post by the account itself that names a dollar figure, newest first, linked so you can read it in place. ShipRatio checks that the post exists, not the number. A figure framed as revenue, MRR, profit, or sales is marked earned; a price, a raise, or someone else’s number is a mention.
