4. What is a Company Surge Score and what factors are used to calculate it?  

   A Company Surge Score (aka Topic Surge score, Topic interest score, Composite score) indicates the extent to which a company is surging on a specific topic compared to its historical baseline. Scores range from 0 to 100. A score of 50 equals average consumption. Surging companies are those that have scores above 60. 
   There are many factors that contribute to the way our models calculate the Surge score including:

   a. Topic consumption by interactions - the number of interactions from a business in the last 3 weeks compared to the previous 12 weeks of historical data.

   b. Topic consumption by unique users  - the number of unique individuals from a business researching relevant topics in the last 3 weeks compared to the previous 12 weeks of historical data.

   c. Topic relevancy weight - a measure of the content piece's 'denseness' in the topic of interest, i.e. is the topic the focus of the content piece or mentioned briefly? 

   d. Engagement - the depth of an organization's engagement with the content, i.e. dwell time, scroll velocity, scroll depth, etc.
