Fifteen questions across the three stations of Meltwater's Data-Driven Communications loop: research, measurement and evaluation. Answer honestly rather than aspirationally, because the value is in the gaps. Your score and your level appear once all fifteen are answered.
This assessment goes deep on one part of the Data-Driven Communications framework: how your team measures. Meltwater's full DDC assessment looks across the whole framework, so the two scores answer different questions and can differ. A team can measure well and still have gaps elsewhere, or the reverse.
The nine tools from Reputation Intelligence walk through the work behind a higher score: who the reporting serves, which markets and outlets count, how coverage is scored and how a finding becomes a decision. Open, in your browser, no account.
Built and run by measuredI/O. The questions follow the Data-Driven Communications (DDC) framework from Meltwater, and the benchmark comes from Meltwater's DDC research with 500+ communications professionals.
The three answers that cost you the most. These are ranked by points lost, not by difficulty, so the top one is where the largest single gain sits.
You have the number and the three answers that cost you most. What the assessment can't tell you is what to do about them, because that depends on your sector, your stakeholders and who you report to.
We'll dig into the numbers with you and say where the next level actually is. No pitch, just the read.
