## Propagation Analysis
Using SIR/SEIR epidemiological models calibrated from information-ops-sim:
- **Basic reproduction number (R₀)**: 1.9
- **Peak infection time**: 24 hours
- **Persuasion probability**: 62.3%
- **Doubling time**: 7 hours
- **Estimated reach**: 14M users
## Bot Detection Signatures
- Botometer average score: 0.7
