How Source Power Is Calculated
Average Culture Index is the mean score of all articles from a given source. This measures the quality and cultural relevance of a publication's output.
Article Count is the total number of articles from the source in the current dataset. This measures editorial volume and coverage breadth.
Source Power combines both metrics: Source Power = Average Culture Index x log2(Article Count + 1). This rewards publications that maintain high average scores while also producing meaningful volume. A source with a 60 average and 80 articles will outrank one with a 65 average and only 5 articles -- because consistent, high-volume cultural coverage is more valuable than a handful of lucky hits.
