Brand mention tracking
Mentions don’t ship with citation markers, so you have to detect them yourself. The detector is the actual product — alias list, entity disambiguation, dedup unit, sentiment — and getting it wrong silently undercounts you, or worse, counts a different “Acme Co.” in your numbers. This is the harder twin of citation tracking, and the entity-resolution layer is where it lives or dies.
