In your list of form rejections, one of them mentions having a "considerable and demonstrable platform". I'm assuming this pertains primarily to non-fiction authors needing to be established authorities on their topic?

My alternate interpretation was that it means that the author needs more followers on social media. But that seems less likely to me.

Would love to know if I guessed correctly!

But yeah, it *mostly* applies to non-fiction.
