Technology Meta Week of 2025-08-11 PSGI™: Moderate Gap

Observation

Innovation salience remains high, but Reputation sits mid–50s. PSGI™ flags a narrative gap: strong product velocity and creator tools dominate coverage, while safety, governance, and societal impact proof-points under-index.

  • Quant (Q3 snapshot): Reputation trails Innovation by ~9 points; willingness-to-recommend is soft in risk-sensitive segments.
  • Qual (Q2–Q3 media & social): High volume on features/AI, limited third-party validation on safety outcomes; elevated polarity on governance topics.

Source window: BES™ Quant (Meta brand query, Q2–Q3 2025) + BES™ Qual (earned & social, Q2–Q3 2025).

Why it matters

Unresolved gaps depress conversion from awareness → trust, invite narrative hijacking, and raise the cost of growth in adjacent categories (AI assistants, AR, messaging commerce). Without visible evidence, innovation wins don’t compound into durable equity.

  • Performance risk: News scrutiny drags attention back to concerns; brand-linked KPIs (adoption, cross-sell) face friction.
  • Moat erosion: Competitors with credible proof (safety/governance) can neutralize Meta’s product advantage in reputation-sensitive uses.
