How to read 34
The score normalizes public attention, official developer activity, evidence-backed gains, evidence-backed problems, and source breadth across the measured company set.
It does not mean: that Perplexity is the “best,” safest, most valuable, or most responsible company. Documented problems contribute to visible footprint rather than being hidden as a negative subtraction.
