CATEGORY BENCHMARKS
Category AI Visibility Benchmarks
A useful comparison must define the category, buyer, use case and inclusion rules before testing begins. This program establishes that foundation for future category-level AI visibility research.

Category Definition Protocol
01
Name the buying job
Define the work the buyer is trying to accomplish.
02
Set inclusion rules
Specify product scope, market, customer size and availability.
03
Map decision criteria
Document fit, proof, risk and procurement questions.
04
Freeze the brand set
Record why each company is included or excluded.
05
Run controlled tests
Collect repeated outputs using the published protocol.
06
Report context
Keep recommendations tied to the tested use case.

Why Universal Rankings Fail
A brand can be a strong fit for one company size, deployment constraint or use case and a weak fit for another. Future category benchmarks will report conditional recommendation patterns instead of flattening the market into a context-free leaderboard.
CATEGORY BENCHMARKS
Current Evidence State
Method only
The category protocol is published. No category dataset has passed the observed-release gate, so no market finding is claimed.
