⚠ Separate bucket. This is ambient social/forum voice (Reddit), a fundamentally different speech genre from solicited reviews — it is never ranked against the review report. Share-of-Voice measures presence, not sentiment. Brand attribution is in-text with abstain; single-mention attributions are within attribution noise.

Bloomers is
absent from the organic Reddit conversation (0 of 289 brand mentions). Competitors own the word-of-mouth in the communities where this category is decided.
Share of the brand mentions across 275 brand-mentioning records (denominator = 289 total brand mentions; a comparison post counts once per brand). Presence, not sentiment.
Category discourse — the bigger story
90% of relevant posts (2,517 of 2,792) name no brand at all — pure category conversation (menopause/perimenopause fit, leak protection, dupe hunts). This is the unmet-needs space buyers discuss before choosing a brand.

Aspect prevalence across all relevant posts (the 15-aspect social taxonomy, discovered from this corpus). category = problem-space / shopping behaviour; product = product experience. Click to read posts (evidence highlighted).
34% of aspect mentions are social-only themes a review funnel structurally can't capture (where-to-buy, dupe-hunting, social proof, price-seeking, sustainability). This is the differentiated intelligence in the ambient bucket.
