# DawnTrend

> DawnTrend is a research site that measures where public attention is moving across AI companies, startups and markets. It uses monthly Google search demand for each company’s own name, from Google search estimates, and compares it with website traffic where that is available. It covers the S&P 500, the Nasdaq-100, the Fortune 100, every Y Combinator company and 80 curated AI companies and topics, grouped into sectors and industries with a fixed formula: the Search Score, from 0 to 100, blends scale, twelve-month momentum and staying power. Browsing is free. A free account adds a daily search allowance, bulk research, website lookups and an API. Search demand measures interest, not revenue, users or adoption. Every figure is an estimate shown with its source, the months it covers and the date it was collected, and none of it is investment advice.
