# 2.5 Discussion Share Graph
Compare relative discussion signals for investment research.
## Discussion Share Graph
The Discussion Share Graph compares relative discussion signals for selected topics, brands, or products. Use it to investigate changes in attention within a defined comparison set.
The graph presents a transformed share-of-discussion measure. It is a directional research indicator, not a measure of market share, purchases, sentiment, or business performance.
**Customization**\
Discussion Share graphs can be customized to focus on specific entities and segments within the dataset.
Users can:
* Add or remove entities to define a custom comparison group
* Toggle individual segments on or off directly in the graph
* Refine the view to isolate specific narratives or product categories
These controls refine the comparison set for your research question.
