It measures how likely AI engines are to recommend a business, and how accurately. San Francisco american restaurants run 24 to 62. Fair starts at 45, good at 65. Per Diem scores 25, below the San Francisco average of 32. The same method scores every business on the registry.

This is exactly what this page sends to Google, Bing, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini.

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