The main research terms
An AI consensus index compares qualifying recommendations across usable responses. A fit review considers one provider within a specific consumer scenario.
A platform mention is a qualifying recommendation by one included platform. Coverage expresses mentions as a share of usable responses. A citation identifies a claim’s source context; it is not an extra vote.
Position and integrity information
Average and best position describe where a provider appeared in recorded lists. Source-support classifications describe the relationship between claims and sources rather than company quality.
A SHA-256 digest identifies a source snapshot and can reveal changes. It does not establish the truth of underlying claims.
