Online Reputation Summary
For the tracked domain and keyword, the Overview report provides a:

Reputation Score is a weighted score based on the ranking positions of positive, neutral, and negative URLs for the requested date (the date selected in the date field).
6-Month Progress table with the top 10 search results domains, color-coded for positive, neutral, and negative brand impact
Monthly Progress (Score) is an addition to the Monthly Progress table, which displays the Score for each month. The summary of the Reputation Management score helps to analyze the historical data.
Sentiment Breakdown for the report date
30-day Trend Graph that is color-coded for positive, neutral, and negative brand impact, and includes the daily reputation score trend. Note that this data correlates to the campaign creation date (i.e., if the campaign was created 5 days ago, then only 5 dates will have data available in the graph)

The Reputation Management Monthly Progress Score is a score of the day of the month represented in the table. In most cases, the score is the data of the first of the month. However, the score also depends on the report date selected. For example, if the report date is March 4, then the score of the month of March will be for that date and all the prior months will display the data of the first of the months.
Hover over the Months (heading of the table) to see the date of the score.
