# How should I read my sentiment score?

**Short answer:** Read it next to visibility, never alone. High sentiment on very low visibility means the few answers naming you are kind but rare. Falling sentiment at steady visibility usually means a specific source has started framing you differently, and Sources will show which.

## Common combinations

| Visibility | Sentiment | Usually means |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Low | High | Rarely named, but described well when you are |
| High | Low | Named often, with a recurring concern attached |
| Steady | Falling | A source has started framing you differently |
| Rising | Rising | The work is landing |

## Finding the cause of a drop

Open the answers behind the lower scores and look for the phrase that repeats. Then check the sources those answers cited for where it came from.
