Gane sells AI visibility software. No company can pay to change a result.

The sites and pages the answers that named ACR came back with. A fact about retrieval, not a cause of the answer.

Fourteen of the fourteen models returned a source list in this edition: five return the pages they cited and nine the search results they consulted. These counts come from 12 of the 12 answers that named ACR and are not a share of its labels.

No domain is on file for ACR, so its own site is not marked. Three were to the publisher's own pages (the Gane Index), which the models cite like any other source; they are not counted as a third party.
