Overview

What Are the SBKr Indexes?

Each SBKr Index is a comparative metric that measures changes in advertising activity over time. Rather than absolute numbers, our indexes show growth trends and momentum by comparing today's performance against historical benchmarks with weighted timeframes.

Multi-Timeframe Comparison

Each index compares today's metric against multiple historical benchmarks:

  • Daily — immediate momentum
  • Weekly — short-term patterns
  • Monthly — cyclical behavior
  • Rolling Average — smooths noise

Growth Indicators

Index values represent directional momentum:

  • Positive % — expansion, increased activity
  • Negative % — contraction, declining momentum
  • Near Zero — stable market conditions
  • Large Absolute — significant market shifts

Quality Adjustments

Raw comparisons are refined with proprietary quality factors:

  • Trend Alignment — consistent direction
  • Consistency Scoring — magnitude similarity
  • Volatility Assessment — stability weighting
  • Magnitude Weighting — absolute size of changes
