How this data is measured
  • Reddit mentions:distinct Reddit threads that name the brand, found via web search across Reddit and confirmed by an AI relevance check (same-name or off-topic threads are dropped). It is a current, relevance-ranked sample of what's discoverable (not a count over a fixed window), so treat it as a comparative signal between brands, not an absolute total.
  • Main subreddit · Engagement · Posts:read live from each brand's own subreddit feed (its most recent posts, up to ~100). Engagement blends post upvotes, comments, and comment karma scaled by posting cadence. “Posts” is the all-time total when the feed could be fully read, otherwise a lower bound (shown as N+).
  • Time horizon:every figure is a point-in-time snapshot taken when the report was generated (see “Scored” at the top). Re-running the report refreshes it; we do not yet track these metrics over time.
  • All figures are measured from real provider data; where a value can't be substantiated it is shown as “—” rather than estimated.
