## Methodology
The AIS Index measures brand visibility across LLMs using four weighted dimensions:
1. **Visibility (40%)**: How often the brand appears in LLM responses across 24+ query variants
2. **Authority (30%)**: Quality of citations — as primary source vs. mentioned-in-passing
3. **Sentiment (20%)**: Tone of LLM mentions — positive, neutral, or negative
4. **Advantage (10%)**: Competitive positioning vs. category peers

Original research finding: 74% of brands score below 40/100 on first scan.
