Rank ranged #3 to #4 · mention rate 8.7%–32.1%

How to read: each dot is one snapshot. The green line is where this firm ranked among peers on that day. The dashed amber line is the mention rate — the share of AI responses in that snapshot that named this firm at all.

Rank and mention rate use different scales, so the two lines are placed side-by-side, not on top of each other. A firm can hold rank while mention rate drifts (fewer responses named anyone) or improve rank without moving mention rate (peers dropped out).
