Methodology

The Methodology

Every score in the AI Brand Index is generated using the same audit framework applied to client scans, structured prompts, multi-engine testing, and four-dimension scoring.

01
Query Generation

We generate buyer-intent prompts for each company, the kinds of questions real prospects ask AI tools when researching vendors.

02
Multi-Engine Testing

Each prompt is tested across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity so we can compare how different systems represent the same brand.

03
Accuracy Scoring

Responses are scored across category accuracy, explanation quality, context relevance, and feature recognition to produce a 0–100 benchmark score.

Scores reflect AI outputs observed during the current index cycle · Full 4-engine audits available through AIsubtext · hello@aisubtext.ai
