The cohort has the expertise. It does not yet have the distribution.

1) Cisco's Field CTO cohort generates measurable market activity, but signal is heavily concentrated in a small leadership cluster. 12 of 21 CTOs published any content during the window, producing 57 posts, 4,038 likes, 148 comments and 238 reposts (Engagement Quality of 5,672).

2) The top four CTOs alone account for 76% of likes, 84% of comments and 75% of reposts. This is not an audience problem — it is a participation gap. 9 CTOs published nothing in the window — deep domain authority that does not currently appear in market conversations.

3) The largest unlock is structural, not creative. Cisco does not need new thought leaders; it needs to scale a small number of proven voices and activate the Invisible Experts with even modest publishing cadence. Authority compounds with frequency.
