Limitations

  • This is one daily response per prompt/provider pair; model output can vary between runs.
  • The fixed 12-prompt CRM Platforms category does not estimate general market share or brand awareness.
  • Presence share and citation share are relative only to the reviewed 16-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.

Rank Formula

                          Search

                          A common Rank.ai web-search tool is available to all three configured models.

                          Rank.ai's configured OpenRouter-compatible gateway

                          A value of 1.0 means the complete frozen cohort passed the deterministic extraction and publication gates; it is not a statistical confidence interval.

                          The sum of reviewed-brand answer-presences. One answer may contribute presence to multiple brands.
