Social Entity Links measure how clearly external platforms confirm and reinforce an institution’s identity. AI systems cross-reference social profiles to validate authenticity, distinguish between similarly named entities, and detect ongoing institutional activity. When social links are missing, inconsistent, or outdated, AI confidence drops — increasing ambiguity and weakening the institution’s entity graph. Strong social linking contributes to EEI by stabilizing the institution’s identity across the broader ecosystem and reducing interpretive drift across models.
