The verdict

Most US property firms were never named by AI assistants

This quarter's index measured whether AI assistants named US property firms when people asked real questions, and most firms were absent. 87% of the 104 firms surveyed appeared in no answer.

The quarter's answers describe a market the assistants mostly do not name. 90 of the 104 firms in the property US map were named in no answer (86.5%). Many answers went further and named nobody. 100 of the 384 answers named no firm at all (26.0%). The citations behind those answers also drew on a narrow set of sources. 36.1% of the 989 citations came from 5 of the 197 domains cited.
