Top 50 of 76
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
The questions behind this index
5Each question with its top three brands by GenRank score and how many brands its answers named.
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
Each cell: of the surface's 5 answers, how many named the brand. Darker means named more often.
