Methodology summary
The mock framework index measures the AI visibility / AI answer ranking category across 30 prompts, 10 brands, and 5 AI engines. Metrics include mention rate, average answer rank, citation rate, share of answer, visibility score, and category ownership score. AnswerRoute is modeled honestly as emerging: stronger around AI answer ranking, database, and API prompts, but behind more established AI visibility platforms across broad best-tools prompts.
