# LinkedIQ

> LinkedIQ is an AI strategic advisor for LinkedIn that analyzes your profile, posts, and performance data to build durable professional authority. It is not a scheduling tool. It does not post on your behalf. It produces structured intelligence — a persona model, authority map, content DNA, and prioritized recommendations — from data you already have.

LinkedIQ is built for senior technical professionals: Staff engineers, Principal and Distinguished engineers, technical founders, VP Engineering, and engineering leaders. The core premise is that these professionals write on LinkedIn to build professional authority, not to chase engagement — and they need a strategic advisor, not a content mill.

## What LinkedIQ does

LinkedIQ runs six analytical engines against two inputs (a LinkedIn profile PDF and a post analytics XLSX exported directly from LinkedIn):

1. **Profile Intelligence Engine** — Produces an authority score, positioning clarity rating, and expertise breakdown read from how the user describes their work, not from post frequency.
2. **Persona Engine** — Builds a structured professional persona with measurable dimensions: technical depth, founder orientation, authority strength, narrative clarity.
3. **Post Intelligence Engine** — Scores posts on silent engagement (saves, shares relative to baseline), authority impact, and audience resonance — not raw likes.
4. **Content DNA Engine** — Identifies hook patterns, topic clusters, sentence shape, paragraph rhythm, and storytelling signatures across the user's post history.
5. **Recommendation Engine** — Produces prioritized post ideas, rewrite suggestions for drafts, profile edits ranked by authority impact, and topic recommendations fitted to the user's authority profile.
6. **Professional Outcome Dashboard** — Tracks authority score over time, audience quality (percentage of senior ICs, staff+, leaders in followers), and engagement trends mapped to professional outcomes.

## How it works

Users export two files directly from LinkedIn — no scraping, no third-party connectors, no API access required. LinkedIn's native export produces a profile PDF and a post analytics XLSX. Uploading these two files is the only setup step.

Once uploaded, LinkedIQ runs its six engines in sequence and produces a structured intelligence report in approximately 90 seconds. The report includes a persona model, an authority map across six dimensions, a content DNA summary, and a ranked list of strategic recommendations.

LinkedIQ does not connect to LinkedIn. It does not publish content. It does not have access to the user's account. It reads exported files and returns analysis.

## Key differentiators

- **No scheduling.** LinkedIQ does not help users post more frequently. It helps them write fewer, better things.
- **No vanity metrics.** Follower counts and like counts are not the primary signal. Authority impact and audience quality are.
- **No auto-posting.** No LinkedIn connector. No API token. No risk of account restrictions.
- **Uses native LinkedIn exports.** The only inputs are files LinkedIn itself provides through its own export tools.
- **Reads your existing work.** LinkedIQ analyzes posts you have already written, not templates or AI-generated content.
