π― WOM (Word-of-Mouth) Propensity Platform β Romania & Moldova
A Herdify-style geographic word-of-mouth analysis platform covering Romania (2021 Census) and Moldova (2024 Census).
What it does: Maps where brand advocacy clusters geographically, identifies natural social communities, simulates how word-of-mouth spreads through those communities, and scores every ~5 kmΒ² hex cell for marketing amplification potential.

How It Works
1. H3 Hexagonal Grid
- 58,670 cells at H3 resolution 7 (~5.44 kmΒ² each)
- Uniform coverage of Romania (55,856 cells) + Moldova (2,814 cells)
- Each cell has 6 neighbors β natural graph structure
2. Feature Engineering (per cell)
- OSM-derived: shops, restaurants, schools, churches, bus stops, hospitals, banks, etc.
- Demographic estimates: population, urbanization score, income index, education, internet penetration
- Community metrics: social cohesion, diaspora connection strength
- Spatial: distance to nearest city, number of cities within 50km
3. Community Detection
- Geographic proximity graph weighted by socioeconomic similarity
- Louvain algorithm identifies natural "word-of-mouth communities"
- Graph centrality metrics (degree, betweenness, clustering coefficient)
4. SIR Diffusion Model
- Susceptible β Infected β Recovered epidemiological model
- Brand WOM spreads through community graph
- Infection rate modulated by: community cohesion Γ internet penetration
- Identifies "susceptible zones" ready for brand entry
5. Propensity Scoring (0-100)
Composite score from:
- Community cohesion (25%) β high cohesion amplifies WOM
- Population density (20%) β larger audience
- Internet penetration (15%) β digital WOM speed
- Graph betweenness centrality (15%) β well-connected nodes
- Clustering coefficient (10%) β tightly-knit communities
- Susceptibility state (15%) β not yet saturated

Key Romania/Moldova Advantages
| Opportunity | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Diaspora Effect | ~5M Romanians abroad β remittance corridors create unique WOM pathways |
| 2024 Moldova Census | Freshest census data in the region β demographic precision advantage |
| Fast Internet | Romania has among the fastest broadband in Europe β digital WOM is highly trackable |
| Church Networks | Strong Orthodox parish structure β natural community boundaries |
| EU Data Access | Eurostat, Copernicus, INSPIRE directive β rich open geospatial data |
| First Mover | No Herdify competitor exists in RO/MD |
