}| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
buzz_score | integer | Number of recent mentions found for the company. |
sentiment | string | Overall read: "positive" (mentions carry real engagement), "low_activity" (fewer than 3 mentions), or "neutral". |
mentions_unavailable | boolean | Present and true only when the mention search failed upstream. The tracked-VC fields are still accurate; buzz_score and sentiment are not, so retry rather than reading a 0 as "nobody is talking about them". |
tracked_vc_followers | array | Usernames of tracked VCs that follow this company. |
tracked_vc_count | integer | Number of tracked VCs following this company. |
