The Problem: Most platforms collect opinions and very few actually measure them. Likes, comments, and shares don’t tell you what people really think — they only show what gets attention. That’s the gap.

What We’re Building: Today, we’re introducing two core systems inside Netwit: Performance Index (Global) and Topic Index (Per Discussion). Together, they turn Netwit into something different: Not just a place to argue — but a place where arguments become measurable.

1. **The Netwit Performance Index: **The Performance Index is a single score that reflects how a topic or idea is performing across the platform. In data science, an index is a combined metric that summarizes multiple data points into one number — giving a clear snapshot instead of scattered signals. That’s exactly what this does.

What It Measures: Instead of just “likes,” the Performance Index combines:

Engagement (comments, replies)

Participation (votes, poll activity)

Momentum (how fast a topic grows)

Controversy (balanced vs one-sided debate)

Think of it like a debate scoreboard. Not popularity. Not virality. Actual performance. Why It Matters: Tracking 10 different metrics is messy. That’s why performance indexes exist — they combine multiple indicators into one clear number that shows how something is doing at a glance. On Netwit: You instantly see which ideas are: dominating, dividing or dying

What This Changes: Instead of: “This post got a lot of likes” You get: “This idea is outperforming others across engagement, disagreement, and growth”. That’s a completely different level of insight.

2. The Topic Index (Inside Every Post): Every topic on Netwit now has its own Topic Index. This is where things get powerful. What the Topic Index Shows - Inside each discussion, you’ll see:

Agree percentage

Disagree percentage

Uncertain percentage

Total votes

Engagement level

This turns every post into a live opinion dataset.

Why This Is Different: Most platforms show reactions. Netwit shows distribution of belief. That means: You don’t just see what’s loud, you see what people actually think. Here’s where it gets even more powerful. Because these indexes update over time, you can track:

Opinion shifts

Rising or falling support

Changes in public sentiment

A performance index allows you to compare results over time and identify trends — not just snapshots . The Bigger Idea: Netwit isn’t trying to replace debate. It’s trying to upgrade it.

From This:

Opinions

Noise

Echo chambers

To This:

Measured ideas

Visible disagreement

Data-backed discussions

What Comes Next: This is just the beginning. As more people participates, The Performance Index becomes smarter and The Topic Index becomes richer and Netwit becomes a real-time map of public thinking. Thats power inside information.

Final thought: Most platforms chase attention. Netwit measures belief. Join the system now. Don’t just react. Vote. Debate. Shift the index. Start a topic or join one now: https://netwit.dev
