What it does

Measures momentum, not just presence. For each term on your watchlist it gathers result volume and recency signals from both Brave Search (mainstream web) and Exa (semantic, fresher sources), combines them into a weekly velocity score, and updates a Coda table that charts which terms are accelerating, flat, or fading.

When to use it

Use it when you have several candidate names for a category and need data on which one is actually winning adoption before you commit messaging and SEO budget. Best for teams deciding which emerging label to standardize on.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule triggers the run.
  2. 2Brave Search returns result counts and recent hits per watchlist term.
  3. 3Exa returns semantically matched recent sources per term for a freshness signal.
  4. 4A logic step normalizes both signals into a single velocity score and compares it to last week's.
  5. 5Scores and week-over-week deltas are written to a Coda dashboard table for charting.
