The GenRank score sums each brand’s question-level visibility inside this category. Higher means AI names the brand more often and earlier. It is not bounded, so compare brands within one category, not across categories. Methodology

Rank trend
Rank trends are drawn once two weekly editions under the same methodology exist. Only the first edition is in so far.
Named by surface
