How it works
We ask. We parse. We publish.
02
Automated citation extraction
We parse each engine's response, identify named brands, and score on mention rate, position, engine breadth, and content extractability.
03
Weekly, public, free
Scores update every Monday. No pay-to-play. No promoted listings. The Index is only useful if it's trusted. So we don't sell rankings.
