MEC
What is measured
Trust
74.7Based on 4 of 4 measures
MEC gets the rating customers are willing to give it, without the language to match. Average Rating sits at 81.5 and Review Volume Confidence at 84.7, both above the middle, so this is a real reading and not a thin one - but Review Sentiment at 68.3 and Inverted Complaint Intensity at 67.6, above the middle as well, sit lower than the score people hand over: what customers write is cooler than what they rate, and when something does go wrong it gets loud. Trust at 74.7 is dependability earned, not affection.
Salience
62.8Based on 4 of 4 measures
MEC's name is known and the demand it already owns converts; what it isn't doing is growing. Branded Search Demand sits at 84.8, well above most brands on the Index, and Traffic / Demand Follow-Through at 95.4 means the people who go looking actually arrive - intent that lands rather than leaking to someone else. But Search Momentum at 41.7 sits below the middle, and Relative Search Salience at 40.5 puts MEC below the middle of its own comparison group: a Salience of 62.8 built on a name being spent, not one being built.
Advocacy
42.2Based on 2 of 4 measures · missing: Conversation Volume, Earned Mention Velocity
MEC gets talked about kindly and recommended rarely - advocacy sits at 42.2, with positive word of mouth at 46.3 and recommendation language trailing at 37.3. Customers will say the co-op is a good place; far fewer will tell a friend to go there, which is warmth without instruction. Goodwill that never turns into a specific recommendation is sentiment MEC pays to acquire twice.
Meaning
37.5Based on 4 of 4 measures
MEC is understood about as well as the average brand here and separated from them barely at all. Association Clarity sits at 36, middling for the Index, while Differentiation Language sits at 14.5, below the middle of it: customers can say roughly what MEC is, and far less about what only MEC is. Category Audience Fit at 30.3 sits well down the Index, so whatever meaning MEC holds, it holds with people who share little ground with the rest of the category's customers - and affinity at 64.8 buys no relief, because nearly every brand in the Index sits where MEC does on that measure.
Emotional Connection
31.1Based on 3 of 4 measures · missing: Community Engagement
Customers approve of MEC; almost none of them belong to it. Emotional Sentiment sits at 43.6, but Identity and Belonging Language lands at 21 and Attachment Language at 25 - a co-op whose members hold a membership and still describe the place as theirs, not ours. Emotional Connection at 31.1 is goodwill, not devotion, and goodwill doesn't defend you.

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.
5 of 6 factors measured so far, from customer reviews, search interest and audience research. Each factor on this page shows the measures behind it and any that are missing.
