2026 Index / Public evidence record
100 AI products, with the evidence beside every result.
AI Search Evidence Proxy v0.1 compares a fixed cohort using a Semrush US snapshot from 26 Aug 2026. Seventy-eight comparable records receive a proxy score and rank; 22 remain visible with their score and rank withheld for a stated evidence reason.

Right of replyHow to read the evidence
The useful part of a ranking is the boundary that lets someone interpret and challenge it.
Use the visible denominator
A displayed position means rank within 78 comparable domain records, not rank among every AI product or every brand online.
Withheld is not zero
The other 22 products remain in the cohort, but no score or rank is assigned where the available evidence cannot support a like-for-like comparison.
Keep the scope narrow
This proxy uses dated Semrush US domain signals. It does not measure direct visibility in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini or Copilot.
