What is measured

Salience

56.2

Based on 3 of 4 measures · missing: Traffic / Demand Follow-Through

People who already know EQ Bank go looking for it by name; the rest of the category conversation happens without it. Branded Search Demand sits at 76 while Relative Search Salience sits at 40.4 - the customers it has arrive with intent, but the brand holds a minority of the attention in its own category, which is why Salience lands at 56.2. Momentum at 58.8 says the gap is closing on its own; it isn't closed, and demand this concentrated among the converted is an asset EQ Bank hasn't yet spent.

Meaning

50.3

Based on 4 of 4 measures

EQ Bank's customers can say it's different; they can't say what it's associated with. Differentiation Language sits at 35, strong across the Index, while Association Clarity sits at 23.6, below the middle - the vocabulary of distinction with no settled thing attached to it, which is why Meaning lands at 50.3. And with Category Audience Fit at 83.5, well up the Index, the difference is showing up in how customers talk, not in who is doing the talking.

Trust

43.4

Based on 4 of 4 measures

EQ Bank's Trust sits at 43.4, and the complaints are what's holding it there - inverted complaint intensity reads 0, the floor. Customers award a middling 50.7 in ratings and then write reviews that score 35.7 in sentiment: the stars say adequate, the sentences say aggrieved, and with review volume confidence at a full 100 that gap is signal, not a thin sample. EQ Bank has earned a passable rating, not trust - and the two are not the same thing.

Advocacy

26.7

Based on 2 of 4 measures · missing: Conversation Volume, Earned Mention Velocity

EQ Bank gets spoken well of more than it gets recommended. Positive word of mouth sits at 29.7 while recommendation language lands at 23, and advocacy overall comes in at 26.7 - customers will say something favorable about the bank, but they stop short of telling anyone else to move their money. That's approval, not advocacy, and approval brings no one else through the door.

Emotional Connection

18.5

Based on 3 of 4 measures · missing: Community Engagement

Nobody belongs to EQ Bank - Emotional Connection sits at 18.5, with identity and belonging language at 6. Customers speak about the rate, the app, the absence of fees; attachment language registers 15.5, and sentiment at 31 says even the approval is transactional. That's a product people use well and a brand nobody would name as theirs - a preference, not a relationship, and preferences move the day a better rate posts.

Pricing Power2 of 5

Every brand in this group offers its everyday account free of charge, so there is no price to compare between them. That is a finding about the category rather than a gap in the data, and it is reported rather than scored.

The full Devotion Score needs all six factors. A factor is scored once at least half of its measures have data behind them. The rest appear as their sources connect.
