What is measured

Trust

76.0

Based on 4 of 4 measures

Indigo is rated well and talked about quietly. Average Rating sits at 87.4 and Inverted Complaint Intensity at 84.6, both in the top third - nothing here turns loud - while Review Sentiment reads 64.4, around the middle: the scores customers give are warmer than the language they attach to them. Review Volume Confidence sits at 68.4, bottom third of the range, so this is dependability confirmed by relatively few voices - trust that holds, not trust that carries.

Meaning

36.9

Based on 3 of 4 measures · Audience / Cultural Overlap needs a comparison group

Indigo's customers are fond of it and can't say what it is. Audience Affinity sits at 78.6, which sounds like a win until you notice nearly every brand on the Index sits there too - it separates nobody - while Association Clarity at 18.7 and Differentiation Language at 12 both land well down the Index, so the warmth arrives with no stable idea attached to it. Meaning of 36.9 is what that costs: liked, unplaceable, and interchangeable with whatever opens next.

Emotional Connection

17.8

Based on 3 of 4 measures · missing: Community Engagement

Indigo's customers can reach for the language of belonging and can't reach for the language of caring. Identity and Belonging Language sits at 17.5, above the middle of the Index, while Attachment Language sits at 12 and Emotional Sentiment at 21.8, both in the bottom third of the range - the vocabulary of membership with nothing underneath it holding on. Emotional Connection lands at 17.8: a brand customers can locate themselves near, not one they're attached to.

Advocacy

16.5

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

Indigo's customers shop it and stay quiet about it - advocacy sits at 16.5, with recommendation language at 11.7. People who talk about the brand at all mostly describe it rather than vouch for it: positive word of mouth registers at 20.6, and almost none of that talk takes the form of telling someone else to go. A brand nobody recommends has to buy every customer it gets.

Not yet scored

Salience3 of 4

Part of this score compares a brand's search demand against the others it sits with, and this brand's comparison group is too small for that comparison to mean anything. Its own search readings are on file - what is missing is a group to read them against.

Pricing Power2 of 5

A retailer's price is a basket of many products rather than one, and how that basket should be defined has not been settled - so no price comparison is published for this category yet.

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.

A dashed spoke is a factor not yet measured - it is left off the shape rather than drawn as a low score.
