One big challenge we've hit is the lack of determinism. Unlike Google where rank #1 is fairly stable, ChatGPT/Gemini answers vary wildly based on user history, location, and random seed.
How do you define a 'rank' in a conversational interface? Is it just frequency of mention over N runs? Or do you try to map 'top' recommendations to positions?

You're right that determinism is fundamentally different from traditional search. Our approach is statistica and we measure frequency of mention + positioning within the response.
So it's more like a visibility score built from hundreds of data points across platforms. Think of it as share of voice in AI responses rather than a fixed SERP position.
We also track the variance itself, some brands get consistent mentions regardless of prompt phrasing, while others are highly volatile. That variance is actually a useful signal.
