How this is measured
Fourteen AI models from 12 labs are asked the same buying questions six ways, for three company sizes. Standings refresh every edition.
Gane sells AI visibility software. No company can pay to change a result.
Read the method →Sources returned with these answers
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 26 of the 38 answers that named CockroachDB and are not a share of its labels.
Domains cited
No domain is on file for CockroachDB, so its own site is not marked. Ten 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.
