Metric Definitions
| Metric | Definition & Logic | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Brand Influence | A combined score of visibility × sentiment; the ultimate measure of brand health. | High influence requires both strong visibility and positive sentiment. |

| Mention Rate | Frequency at which AI answers mention your brand. | Comparable to “impressions” in the AI world — higher frequency means stronger exposure. |
