What the public score tells you
Brand Integrity Index
How clearly, credibly and usefully the organization expresses its brand and human truth through its owned digital experience.
Signal Strength Index
How effectively the organization can be found, understood, trusted and acted upon across search, AI and the wider digital ecosystem.
Signal Gap
The difference between Signal Strength and Brand Integrity. This is not a third combined index.
- Signal leads brand
- Your digital presence is highly visible, but the owned brand experience may not be as differentiated or substantive as the signal surrounding it.
- Brand leads signal
- You may have a strong owned experience that is not yet receiving equivalent discoverability, authority or external corroboration.
- Broadly balanced
- Brand Integrity and Signal Strength are moving together. The deeper question is whether both are competitive enough for the category.

About the public indexes
Brand & Signal Rapid Indexes are directional comparative assessments based on publicly observable digital evidence available at the time of review. They report the Brand Integrity Index and Signal Strength Index for comparative research and business discussion.
A Rapid Index is not a complete audit of an organization's digital operations. The full Brand & Signal Benchmark evaluates all 15 dimensions using a deeper Evidence Standard, page-level evidence, competitor comparison and AI-answer eligibility journeys.
Scores can change as organizations update their digital presence or as new public evidence becomes available.
