Methodology & caveats

GPI measures AI visibility and framing in model answers, not sales or market share forecasts. This issue is generated from index layers (prompts, measurements, aggregates, narrative, reports) with deterministic daily runs.

No synthetic brands or synthetic scores are injected. If the quarter lacks coverage, we show fewer rows and mark insufficiency explicitly.

Data updates timeline

Each bar shows how many measurements were refreshed on that date. Last data update: 12 May 2026.

Report refreshed: 12 May 2026 (report rebuilt from latest available measurements).
