The prominence score

The prominence score weighs each appearance by how the brand was treated, rather than counting them all the same.

It uses two things. How far into the answer the brand first appears, because the first name in a list is not the fourth. And whether the surrounding text recommends it, lists it neutrally, or names it as something to avoid.

This one is our reading

Appearance is a fact. Prominence is an interpretation, and the product says so wherever it appears.

Every prominence number is shown with the raw sentence it was read from, so you can disagree on the spot. If we have read a sentence as criticism and you read it as neutral, you can see exactly which sentence did it.

Why it exists

Because appearance alone will mislead you eventually. In one saved run, a brand was named in one answer as the actual recommendation and in another as one of the most expensive options. The appearance score counted those identically. Any customer would find that within a week of paying, and would be right to ask.

How it is shown

Beside the appearance score, never instead of it, and always labelled. The two are never blended into a third number.

Where they disagree the product says so plainly. A brand named often and recommended rarely is the most useful single thing Keylight can tell you.
