How is this calculated? Methodology
Every brand in this leaderboard is scored against the same set of 299 shared Premium Denim Brands prompts. The same prompts, same model, same iterations. So differences in scores reflect actual differences in AI visibility, not differences in measurement.
Overall AI Visibility Score
composite = ((LBA + 5)(Authority + 5)(TOM + 5))^(1/3) - 5. The floor keeps brands the model clearly recognises but doesn't yet recommend from collapsing to zero, while a single genuinely weak metric still pulls the composite down. Full methodology.
Shared industry prompts
Latent Brand Association (LBA)
quality × meta × stability × share × recognition × 100. Read the full LBA methodology →
