Each buyer prompt is issued several times per model and location; a brand's score is the share of those runs that named it. Because the prompt set is fixed scan-to-scan, changes between reports reflect genuine shifts in how AI represents the business, not a different set of questions.
Each square is one model run for that prompt; a filled square is a run that named Brightway. This is the texture behind the headline percentage, the prompts where presence is strong, and where it's still intermittent.

| Overall | 14.1% | 6.5–22.0% | 36 |
| ChatGPT | 18.1% | 6.3–31.3% | 36 |
| Claude | 15.6% | 4.2–28.1% | 36 |

Each figure is an estimate from a finite number of AI runs, not an exact constant. The 95% interval is the range the true visibility most plausibly sits in. Overlapping intervals aren't a real difference, treat brands as tied. Judge movement against the interval, a change only signals a genuine shift once it clears the band. Per-model intervals are wider than the overall because each model is a quarter of the data.
Overall AI visibility across all tracked brands with bootstrap 95% intervals. Brightway now clears the mid-field cluster.
Per-model visibility for each tracked brand, plus the service themes where it surfaces most often. The leaders concentrate on Perplexity and Claude; Brightway's strongest model this month is ChatGPT.

The off-site signals AI cross-checks before recommending you. Three months in, Brightway is now listed and consistent across the platforms that matter, NAP is clean and reviews are climbing, which is part of why visibility has moved up the field.
