The wSI

A measurement index for IRL brand activations.

Until now, none existed. The weDISCOVR Signal Intelligence Index is the first one. Eight sub-indices, seven patents, one composite score that brands, agencies, and investors can read and benchmark.

Why it exists

Nielsen. Kantar. Placer.
None of them built for the scan moment.

Every Nielsen rating, every Kantar survey, every Placer footfall ping was built for media buying, panel research, or location measurement. None were built for what happens when a person scans a QR at a festival, engages with a brand in AR, gives consent, and walks away with a product.

The behavioral moment · the scan, the engagement, the consent, the claim, the return · is the most powerful signal in physical marketing. And it has had no standardized measurement instrument.

QR analytics CSVs

Tell you who scanned. Not who engaged, not who opted in, not who bought, not what the audience composition was. Raw counts without context.

Panel research

Tells you what people say they did at events. Self-reported, lagging, expensive, and uncorrelated with actual purchase behavior at the venue.

Footfall pings

Tells you bodies moved through a geofence. Doesn't tell you which bodies engaged with which brand, or whether the brand presence drove any behavior.

Inside the wSI

Eight sub-indices.
One composite score.

Every Drop is scored across eight sub-indices, each capturing a distinct signal layer. The composite wSI score is what brands, agencies, and investors read. The sub-indices are how you understand why.

BSI
Brand Signal Index

Brand performance relative to its category. Did the activation lift this brand vs its competitors at this exact venue?

SVI
Space Value Index

Venue contribution to the Drop score. How much of the activation's lift came from the space itself vs the brand creative?

EPI
Explorer Preference Index

Audience alignment score. How closely did the cohort that scanned match the brand's stated target audience?

CPI
Curator Performance Index

Curator delivery against wSI targets. Did the Curator behind the event deliver the audience and density they promised?

API
Activation Performance Index

Drop mechanics vs best-in-class. Did the AR scene, the offer, the unlock work as well as the top decile of similar activations?

CHI
City Health Index

Urban cultural activity baseline. Adjusts the score for the underlying cultural temperature of the city on the activation day.

DAS
Dynamic Adjustment Score

Real-time market conditions adjustment. Weather, transit, competing events · the wSI accounts for what was happening around the Drop.

FSI
Financial Settlement Index

Attribution and revenue tracking. How much directly attributable revenue closed at the booth, by SKU, by hour, by cohort.

What you do with it

One score.
Three audiences.

The wSI is built to be read by everyone in the brand-activation supply chain. Same composite, different uses.

For Brands

Compare across cities and seasons

Run two Drops at the same festival in consecutive years. Compare their wSI scores side by side. Track whether your activation is improving, plateauing, or losing ground against the category baseline.

For Agencies

Benchmark your client portfolio

Manage five brand clients. Benchmark them against each other and against Kantar CPL baseline. Build a single reporting view that justifies your retainer and your media buy decisions.

For Investors

Track signal across a portfolio

Watch wSI scores roll up across a portfolio of brand activations. Detect category momentum early. Identify which Drops are driving real attributable revenue vs which are awareness theater.
