- Weighted Points per Metric: Weighted Points = Score × Weight
- Contribution Share: Contribution % = Metric Weighted Points ÷ Total Weighted Points × 100
- Score Dispersion: Dispersion = √(Σ(Score − Mean)² ÷ Number of Metrics)

FAQs
1. What does the Brand Strength Index measure?
It combines awareness, consideration, preference, loyalty, advocacy, quality perception, differentiation, and market share strength into one weighted score for easier brand tracking.
2. Why do weights matter in this calculator?
Weights let you emphasize the inputs that matter most. A retention-led business may weight loyalty higher, while a challenger brand may favor awareness and differentiation.
3. Do my weights need to add up to 100?
No. The formula divides by the total weight automatically, so any positive weighting pattern works as long as the total weight is above zero.
4. What score is considered strong?
A score above 75 is usually strong, while 85 or more is elite. The right threshold still depends on category maturity, competition, and market conditions.
5. Can market share dominate the whole result?
It can if you assign an oversized weight. Keep the weighting balanced so outcome metrics and perception metrics both influence the final index.
6. How often should I update the index?
Monthly works for active campaigns, while quarterly is common for broader brand reviews. Use the same scoring rules each cycle to preserve comparability.
7. Is this the same as a financial brand valuation?
No. This index measures marketing strength and customer perception. Financial brand valuation also includes revenue effects, pricing power, and broader commercial assumptions.
8. Which inputs usually deserve the highest attention?
Loyalty, advocacy, and perceived quality often deserve close attention because they connect brand sentiment with repeat behavior and long-term revenue protection.
