How the quality index is calculated
What the number means
From 0 to 100. We compare a channel with similar ones: the same main topic and the same size. A district newspaper does not compete with a national channel.
What it is made of
Why some channels show “—”
We calculate the index for channels with at least 500 subscribers, with posts in the last 7 and 30 days and with views. The rest are at the end of the list.
Full methodologyWhat the number means
How often other MAX channels repost and mention the channel over the last 30 days, and how large those channels are. A repost by a national channel weighs more than a link from a channel with 50 readers.
There is no upper limit: the most cited MAX channels reach the hundreds.
What counts and how
Repeats from the same channel add less and less. A channel that mentions everyone splits its weight among them.
What is not counted
Ad posts, mentions between channels of the same owner and group chat messages. A channel with no mentions in 30 days gets 0 and shows “—” in the table.
