All Dimensions & Effect Sizes
Complete breakdown of effect sizes across all 26 dimensions, sorted by absolute magnitude.
| Rank | Cluster | Dimension | Cohen's hEffect sizeHow strongly a signal moves the model. Positive numbers mean the signal pushes the model toward your brand; negative numbers mean it pushes away. Values above 0.2 are meaningful; 0.5+ is strong. | 95% CI | |Effect| | Magnitude |
