August 2026 Edition

This is a banded dataset, presented by category — not a 1‑to‑55 ranking. With 44 of 55 brands sharing an ACS with at least one other, and AEO producing only a handful of distinct values (the three no‑transport rubric lines are excluded), a fine ranking would claim a precision the instrument does not have. Read this as bands and category standing, not photo‑finish rank. Brands marked est. carry at least one engine whose range did not fully collapse — an honest estimate, not a determined value.

AEO · GEO · SEO are the three read engines — agents crawl and cite a brand's content. There is a fourth: MCP, the call engine, where agents don't read a brand, they invoke it. It's reported alongside the ACS, never folded in. See where the 55 stand on it — The Fourth Engine →
