What is measured

Salience

98.7

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

People go looking for Wealthsimple by name, and they are doing it more, not less: Branded Search Demand sits at 95.7, Search Momentum at 100. Relative Search Salience reads 100, which puts it ahead of the brands it is compared with - a Salience score of 98.7 built on people typing the name, not on being placed in front of them. That is demand pulling toward the brand rather than media pushing at it, and it is a floor, not a finish line - being searched for is the easiest of these numbers to hold and the least valuable to hold alone.

Meaning

57.8

Based on 4 of 4 measures

Wealthsimple's customers reach for the language of difference well before they can say what the brand actually is: Differentiation Language sits well up the range at 57.5, Association Clarity below the middle at 27. Category Audience Fit sits well up the range too, at 88.7, so the people it holds look much like the rest of the category's - a distinction that registers in what customers say and not in who shows up. Meaning at 57.8 rests on a claim its customers can start and can't finish.

Trust

51.3

Based on 4 of 4 measures

Wealthsimple's Trust sits at 51.3, and it isn't the day-to-day product dragging it down. Average Rating holds at 58.1 while Inverted Complaint Intensity collapses to 7.8 - customers say pleasant things about the app and furious things about the moment something goes wrong, and with Review Volume Confidence at 100 that split is the pattern, not noise. That's trust in the interface, not trust in the resolution - and a firm holding someone's money is judged on the second one.

Advocacy

41.4

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

Customers say good things about Wealthsimple; fewer of them say buy it. Positive word of mouth sits at 44.5, above the middle, while the language of outright recommendation runs lower at 37.7 - approval that stops short of a name handed to a friend. Advocacy at 41.4 is goodwill that hasn't been converted into referral.

Emotional Connection

32.0

Based on 3 of 4 measures · missing: Community Engagement

Wealthsimple's customers like the product and don't belong to it. Emotional Sentiment sits at 46.6 while Identity/Belonging Language lands at 17 and Attachment Language at 29 - people say good things about the app without ever saying it's theirs, which is approval, not attachment. Emotional Connection of 32 is the price of building a tool people are glad to use and no one would defend.

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.
