| Context | Median | Top Quartile | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn POV Posts | 2.1% | 3.3% | Thought leadership and business credibility |
| X Threads | 0.6% | 1.0% | Real-time commentary and topical authority |
| Founder Notes and Observations | 1.3% | 2.1% | Audience intimacy and repeated voice-led content |
| Link-First Text Posts | 0.4% | 0.8% | Showing how outbound emphasis hurts native engagement |

| How recognizable and consistent the author voice is over time | Conversation rate, engagement rate, comment depth, and thought-leadership performance. |
