CERN's top 10 nearest neighbors span science media, news publishers, politicians, and a non-profit — a mixed cluster with no single dominant type and scores compressed into a narrow band from 0.90 down to 0.88.

The shape is flat: National Geographic leads at 0.90, but Mazie Hirono (0.89), IFLScience (0.89), News from Science (0.89), Science News (0.89), and Discover Magazine (0.88) all sit within two hundredths of a point of each other. No single neighbor pulls away from the pack. Tallying subcategories across the ten: Magazines account for three entries (National Geographic, Discover Magazine, WIRED Science), News Publishers two (News from Science, Science News), and Websites one (IFLScience). The remaining four are a Non-Profit (World Health Organization), a Politician (Mazie Hirono), a Reuters News Publisher, and Apple News. No other Research Organization — CERN's own subcategory — appears in the top 10. The cross-kind finding is notable: science and general-interest media dominate, but politicians and a global health body sit comfortably alongside them, suggesting the audience composition that shapes CERN's neighborhood is defined less by institutional type than by a shared orientation toward credentialed, internationally-minded information.

The flat, tightly-banded cluster points to an audience whose shape is broadly recognizable across science media, global news, and policy-adjacent figures rather than concentrated around any single peer.
