Why it moved this week

-2 mentions

Aug 15, 2026 → Aug 22, 2026 · one or both runs reconstructed from stored mentions

Too little movement to attribute. The week's changes are within the range a single re-run of the same prompts would produce.

Attribution is probabilistic. These are the prompts, models and sources whose measurements changed most alongside this entity — not a claim that any of them caused the movement.

Why it matters

  • Balanced platform profile

    Visibility is spread across platforms — a balanced profile that limits the risk of disappearing from any one AI assistant.

  • AI visibility slipping

    AI mention share moved -0.1% run-over-run. Rising AI visibility often precedes broader attention — track this entity against social growth on the Correlation view.

  • Latest market value on record

    $4.10B (forbes, Mar 26, 2025). Market Signal is tracked as a standalone data point alongside the Bowstone Index, not as one of its weighted components — see the Correlation view.
