Share is the position-weighted share of answers that recommend this business, 0–100, across every scored question, assistant and run in the reading. A further question asks about the business by name; it is not counted in the score. Spread is the standard deviation of the per-run shares and is published with every score. If a business was not mentioned in any answer, that only records what the assistants said. It is not a rating of the business.

A measurement of AI assistant recommendation share, not advice, an endorsement or a quality rating. See Terms.

By assistant

Recommendation share within each scored assistant's answers, 0 to 100, weighted by position the same way as the overall score. Assistants differ in which sources they read; a gap here usually points to a missing source, not a missing business.
