Methodology
For each brand we ask a current frontier AI model five real buyer questions for its category (e.g. "What are the best trucking companies?"). Score = mention rate (0–100). 70+ = AI knows you; under 40 = largely invisible. Snapshot: June 2026, US market. One model is a proxy, not the universe — but "who gets named" is the metric that decides who gets the customer. Raw data: index.json · sitemap.
