What this month's data shows

The #1 driver of ranking this month was not engagement rate — it was consistency. Founders who posted 15+ times outperformed high-engagement founders who posted 5 times. Volume builds algorithm momentum. Engagement converts that momentum into authority.

Builder archetype founders (behind-the-scenes process content) had the highest save rate — 3.2× the Educator average. Saved posts are LinkedIn's highest-value signal. They indicate content the audience wants to return to, not just react to in the moment.

Provocateur founders had the highest comment volume but the lowest follower conversion rate. Strong opinions drive conversation but not necessarily follows. The most effective profiles combined Provocateur angles with Authority substance — a contrarian take backed by specific data.
