How is this calculated? Methodology
Every brand in this leaderboard is scored against the same set of 275 shared Sparkling Waters 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
(LBA × Authority × TOM)^(1/3). Geometric mean is used so that any single weak metric pulls the overall score down, rather than being masked by strength elsewhere.
Shared industry prompts
Latent Brand Association (LBA)
quality × meta × stability × share × recognition × 100. Read the full LBA methodology →
