Methodology — attorney layer

Attorney mentions are extracted from the same LLM responses used for the firm-level ranking. A post-scan pass uses Claude Sonnet to parse each response for person-name mentions associated with a firm — e.g. "Stephen Cherner at Aronson Mayefsky" becomes an AttorneyCitation row linking Cherner → Aronson Mayefsky → scan.

Because attorney mentions are 3-10× sparser than firm mentions, statistical share / CI math doesn't work cleanly at our scan budget. We publish raw citation counts and a model-coverage indicator (how many of the 4 LLMs named this attorney) instead of a share %. This is the same logic Chambers uses for attorney-level rankings vs. firm-level.

Citation volume reflects how often AI assistants name a given attorney. It does NOT reflect competence, courtroom record, or peer review. For statistically-supported firm rankings, see the firm leaderboard.
