Six of the 65 pages. Every chart is drawn from a named source, and the vendor screenshots are reproduced as published.
Written by a publisher, not a vendor. We do not sell a visibility dashboard, so we can afford to tell you which ones to ignore, which categories we cannot help with, and what to measure instead.
AI search is real and small. Google Zero did not happen. The 99% figure, the AI Overview click experiment, and the WPP study of 2,500 Australians.
The 85%, the category mix that makes one strategy impossible, and why the model decides before it searches.
Brands build the bottom three. The top two are earned. What 130 search experts rated, and what an AI Mode answer is made of.
Schema, llms.txt, scaled AI content and blended visibility scores, each against the study that measured it.

The audience measured by Ipsos iris, the AI infrastructure we built, the formats AI cites, and the proof.
Every study, with publisher, sample size and date, hyperlinked.
