How the union sets these numbers
- Average views of 112 education & commentary channels with 10K–50K subscribers (middle channel: 3.5K views), refreshed by IU at least every 30 days
- Floor: IU’s published pricing method at its low end — average views ÷ 1,000 × the niche’s rate per thousand views × the format
- Typical range: the same method, mid rate, for channels between the 25th (1.16K) and 75th (9.16K) percentile of views
- The floor is the level below which the union advises declining. Pages are published only with at least 20 channels
