Limitations
- This is one response per prompt/provider pair in each run; model output can vary between runs.
- The fixed 16-prompt AI Image Generation category does not estimate general market share or brand awareness.
- Presence share and citation share are relative only to the reviewed 12-brand universe; untracked brands are excluded from those denominators.
- OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are both evaluated brands and configured model providers; no self-provider bias correction is applied.

- Citation Share Denominator
Distinct answer-level HTTP(S) citation URLs whose URL-derived hostname matches any reviewed brand domain.
- Presence Share Denominator
The sum of reviewed-brand answer-presences. One answer may contribute presence to multiple brands.
- Mention Coverage Denominator
48 answers: all 16 prompts multiplied by 3 configured providers.
- Provider Citation Share Denominator
Distinct reviewed-brand-domain citations within the named configured model API provider's 20-answer cohort.
- Recommendation Presence Denominator
24 answers: recommendation-intent prompts multiplied by 3 configured providers.
- Provider Mention Coverage Denominator
16 prompts for the named configured model API provider.
- Provider Recommendation Presence Denominator
8 recommendation-intent prompts for the named configured model API provider.
