Question types within each engine
The same home-category sample, separated by engine and question type. Named counts a name match, not an endorsement. Zero means no name match in the stored answers shown; an omitted type has no stored answers, not a zero mention rate. These pooled historical counts are not a controlled engine comparison: prompts, models, collection routes and sampling frequencies can differ. They are not buyer demand or a movement measure.

How this is measured
Names are matched case-sensitively from each brand's own homepage title, in answers stored by the Machine Relations Index. Only derived counts are published here; no answer text is.
A brand appears only once it has been named in at least 10 answers on 7 separate days.
A name match counts a mention. It does not count a recommendation, and it does not measure sentiment.
Categories are the Index's buyer-question categories.
Window-to-window brand movement is unmeasured. The stored counts do not establish unchanged prompts, collection instruments and sampling weights across periods. Historical counts and weekly rows are descriptive, not a matched trend.
