   Measures consumer search and discovery behavior, capturing consumer awareness of a brand, product, or category.
3. **Social Interest Tracker**\
   Monitors social engagement (likes, comments, followers, and more) across social platforms to show how much attention a brand is gaining or losing over time.
4. **Website Activity Tracker**\
   Tracks digital visits and engagement across key domains to reflect changes in online demand and user behavior.
5. **Ads Usage Tracker**\
   Monitors activity on ad platforms and domains to capture changes in advertising demand for the specified company’s platform.
6. **Search Demand Tracker**\
   Uses keyword-level search trends to identify shifts in consumer intent before revenue shows up.
7. **Login Tracker**\
   Monitors login behavior to identify shifts in user activity ahead of reported metrics.
8. **Developer Activity Tracker**\
