Reading these numbers. Share of the WNBA conversation, normalised so 100 is average. Attention, not performance. Attention measured against social following. Positive means she draws more discussion than her platform predicts.Scores are computed once a week from the previous seven days and never change mid-week. “Not available” means no social handle is on file, so PIPN cannot be computed — it is not a zero.
