  • What is measured: monitored public items referencing WPRF or the World Public Relations Forum within the measurement window.
  • Measurement window: 2026-01-01 to 2026-09-21 (263 days), measured through 2026-09-21 01:38 UTC.
  • Eligibility rule: only items with a publisher-or-analyst-verified publication date are counted. 51 captures were withheld by eligibility controls; 18 duplicate captures were collapsed into canonical evidence.
  • Canonical evidence: eligible captures sharing the same normalized evidence identity are counted once across mapped WPRF/NIPR brands.
  • Estimated reach: potential audience, not actual audience or readership.
  • Country counts: 123 eligible captures have durable source-backed geography; 56 remain unresolved and are excluded from geography, never guessed.
  • Surface tone is not Meaning Intelligence™; contextual meaning is a separate layer and is not inferred on this page.
  • Absence of a signal is not proof of absence — it reflects what monitoring captured and verified.
  • SignalWatch versus Public Intelligence: SignalWatch counts only public material developments shown in aggregate; Public Intelligence analyses the full validated period. Private records, actions, notes and evidence remain excluded.
