Press footprint sparse

Percentiles computed over the modeled cohort (embedding + signal + tags). Sparse dimensions — network and press — reflect that most products have zero, so a single edge or mention lifts the rank; read those with the coverage flag.

Low risk

Higher risk than 8% of the universe.

This is a model estimate, not a verdict. 78,505 of the 79,105 modeled products are unlabeled and scored by the model only.

LightGBM · binary mortality (dead vs surviving)
Held-out AUC 0.71 · CV AUC 0.79 ± 0.05 · Brier 0.21
Trained on 600 verified labels (150 dead / 450 surviving)

n=600 is thin → 95% CI on AUC ≈ ±0.10. Treat as a directional signal, not a calibrated probability.

Google Photos sits in the 63th percentile of Launch Sentinel's 79,105-product universe by signal, ranked #3,773 of 10,124 in Productivity. The mortality model puts its probability of going inactive at 3% — a model estimate with a wide confidence band. It sits on the competitive-alternatives graph with 7 linked rivals, so the comparable set below leans on curated edges. Signal momentum is roughly flat.

Comparable set

curated alternatives → functional tag-similarity

Company	Basis	Signal	P(dead)
ComboTripproductivity	similar	15.7	92%
Eventer – Collect & Share Memoriesentertainment	tag-overlap	25.7	16%
WedPicsentertainment	tag-overlap	18.6	93%
AnyListproductivity	similar	18.6	17%
Splitwisefinance	tag-overlap	25.7	0%
Bringproductivity	similar	18.6	4%
Picturelifeproductivity	similar	15.7	98%
Pushbullet Messengercommunication	tag-overlap	15.7	1%

Confidence reflects source and category coherence: curated = an editorially linked alternative; similar = strong functional tag-overlap in the same category; tag-overlap = shared tags only and may be noisy. Signal & P(dead) are real / model.
