About TG Inspector
TG Inspector is a catalog of Telegram channels with statistics and a cleanliness index. The 0–100 index is calculated from a channel's public metrics, and a plain-language breakdown explains what they show.
Why the catalog exists
Advertisers usually see a channel's subscriber count and public post views. Both numbers can be manipulated, while Telegram's internal acquisition and demographic analytics remain private to channel administrators.
TG Inspector looks at whether public metrics are internally consistent: how views relate to subscribers, how they vary between posts, whether old posts continue gaining views, and how people react or comment. An inactive audience usually breaks one or more of these relationships, and such gaps lower the index.
- Advertisers see a channel's metrics before paying for a placement.
- Channel owners can share a page with public metrics instead of an unverifiable analytics screenshot.
- Agencies can compare channels in one niche on the same metrics before approving a media plan.
Cleanliness-index signals
Each available signal produces a risk value from 0 to 1. Weighted signal risk becomes a 0–100 risk score. Cleanliness index = 100 − risk score, so a higher index is better.
- ERR and reach — 25%. Median views relative to subscribers. Very low reach can indicate an inactive audience; an extreme value deserves a closer look at views.
- View variation — 15%. Real posts usually perform differently; mechanically similar counts across many posts deserve scrutiny.
- View maturation — 15%. Organic posts often keep gaining views, while purchased delivery may arrive as a short burst and stop.
- Reactions — 10%. Reaction volume and composition relative to views.
- Comments — 25%. Language patterns and commenter structure, with authors anonymized before LLM analysis.
- Metadata — 10%. Channel age, Telegram service flags, advertising load, and deleted-post signals.
When a block is unavailable, its weight is redistributed among the remaining signals and confidence decreases. High confidence starts at 80% available weight; medium starts at 50%.
Grade and traffic-light scale
| Grade | Cleanliness | Risk score | Zone | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A+ | 91–100 | 0–9 | green | Metrics look normal |
| A | 81–90 | 10–19 | green | Normal, with minor deviations |
| B | 70–80 | 20–30 | green | Generally normal; a few points to clarify |
| C | 55–69 | 31–45 | yellow | Some metrics deviate |
| D | 40–54 | 46–60 | yellow | Noticeable deviations |
| F | 0–39 | 61–100 | red | Many metrics deviate |
How a channel page is built
- Collection. Public posts, views, reactions, comments, description, and Telegram service flags are saved as one snapshot.
- Scoring. Deterministic rules calculate each available signal and the final score.
- LLM analysis. A language model reviews anonymized comments and content, then writes a summary. It cannot alter the score.
- Page. The index, grade, metrics, breakdown, expected advertising reach, and questions for the channel owner.
What the service cannot establish
- It does not issue a verdict. The score describes metrics, not the owner's actions.
- It cannot see internal Telegram analytics. Acquisition sources, demographics, and private conversion data are visible only to the administrator.
- It does not editorially rate content quality. Content and ad-load flags inform an advertiser; they do not judge the channel's value.
- It cannot cover private channels without public access to posts.
- It does not replace negotiation. A channel page provides evidence and questions; the purchasing decision remains yours.
Data, privacy, and public pages
Only public metrics are used. TG Inspector does not request access to private channels or collect subscriber identities. Comment authors are replaced with anonymous account labels before LLM processing.
A channel owner may request removal from public access via our contact page. See the Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and methodology.
