Who AI ranks first
Governed ranking tables of how AI and search surfaces name and order actors across premium markets — by vertical, destination, ranking type and window.
Rankings are public readings of observed AI/search positioning within a defined market, surface, and window — not promotional rankings, and not a measure of revenue, market share, or business leadership.
What this page is
The complete library of governed ranking tables — who an answer surface names, and in what order, market by market. Pick a vertical, a destination, a ranking type and a period, and read the table. Authority verdicts remain the source-of-record; Rankings is the distribution layer that helps you find, compare and cite those governed readings.

Observatory Reading — citable
A ranking on The Observatory is a scoped reading of an observed AI/search surface, not a universal truth and not a measure of business-market leadership.

Reviewed editorially · No guarantee of coverage
Suggest a marketFour steps: read the surface (organic, AI Overview, citation, model answer), the window (a ranking only holds for its period), the ranking type (presence, opening, citation, query), and the limitation (a surface ranking is not business-market leadership).
A ranking describes observed positioning on a defined surface and window. A strong ranking can indicate surface strength but does not prove an actor leads the business market; a weak ranking does not prove commercial weakness. No revenue, market-share, or leadership claim.
Why a brand does not rank sets out the checks needed before treating a missing name as observed absence. Why competitors appear more often sets out the conditions under which a difference in appearances can be read at all. The Use Cases apply these reading standards to the different questions brands, analysts and publishers bring to the evidence.
Follow the entity
The table gives the comparison. Brand Intelligence brings the dated evidence for each named entity into one record.
Read the market context
The Market Room places these tables alongside the other published readings of the same market.
Read the recorded narrative
Rankings records observed order. DNC Lens presents the model’s recorded description; Model Watch compares the readings identified on each card.
Read an Authority verdict
Where an Authority verdict has been published, it places a scoped conclusion on the record. Its market, surface and window must match the question being asked.
Cite a table faithfully
The citation guidance explains how to preserve the table’s source, observation window and limitations when it is reused.
Are Observatory rankings business rankings?
No. Observatory rankings are readings of observed AI/search positioning on a defined surface and window. They do not measure revenue, market share, or business leadership unless explicitly stated.
What is the difference between Rankings and Authority?
Authority is the source-of-record layer for governed verdicts. Rankings is the distribution layer that helps readers find, compare, filter, and cite those ranking readings.
Can a brand lead the real market and still rank weakly here?
Yes. The business market and the positioning surface are different layers. A brand can be commercially strong and still be weakly visible, weakly cited, or weakly framed on an AI/search surface.
Can I cite these rankings?
Yes, when a ranking is published as a governed reading. Cite the ranking with its market, surface, window, and attribution to The Observatory. Do not restate a surface ranking as a business-market claim.
Intelligence by AAI Kernel. Published by The Observatory.
The Observatory reports observed positioning on defined AI and search surfaces within a stated scope and time window. A ranking is not a measure of real-world revenue, market share, or business leadership.
