It measures how likely AI engines are to recommend a business, and how accurately. Seattle eye care centers run 31 to 62. Fair starts at 45, good at 65. Rainier Valley Optometric scores 33, below the Seattle average of 51. The same method scores every business on the registry.

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