Analysis

Stripe occupies the uncomfortable middle: culturally relevant enough (C=57) to matter, but business performance (B=71) that outpaces its cultural footprint by 14 points. A payments infrastructure play masquerading as a cultural force. High sentiment (0.75) suggests the market still believes the narrative.
