Ranking methodology

Define the prompt universe before ranking tools, models, or sources.

Attach source evidence, observed AI answer snapshots, and citation domains before claiming a ranked leader.

Separate tool rankings, model rankings, category rankings, visibility rankings, and citation source rankings.

Refresh rankings when model behavior, search evidence, or source citations change.
