The comparison
Monitoring is solved. Positioning is not.
Media monitoring tells you that you were mentioned. Social listening counts how often. Neither answers the one question that matters: is the room with you or against you, and where are you losing right now? That is the gap Tribelis closes.
What nobody else does
Four things no serious tool does in German.
- Per-position stance scoring Every article and comment scored: for or against your defined position, not generic sentiment.
- Commenter archetypes Individual voices typed as Champion, Ally, Swing, Critic or Troll. Other tools stop at aggregate audience data.
- Austrian news comment sections We analyse the reader comments under Der Standard, Krone and others. Elsewhere, comment analysis stops at social platforms.
- Stance-tied blindspot detection Where the opposing narrative wins uncontested, anchored to your position, not a generic share-of-voice.

Full · partial · none. Highlighted rows are verified Tribelis whitespace. For public-affairs tools, "partial" on stance means they track legislators' positions on bills, not content against a client's position.
