It measures how likely AI engines are to recommend a business, and how accurately. Fresno thrift stores run 25 to 54. Fair starts at 45, good at 65. AMVETS Thrift scores 37, above the Fresno average of 35. The same method scores every business on the registry.
| Signal | Weight | Score | What it measures | AMVETS Thrift |

Visitor references are dated firsthand accounts. AI guesses record what an AI engine said on that date, not what is true.
