Prompted Brand’s US launch offers marketers a useful worked example of how to read an AI-visibility leaderboard. Its Formula 1 report gives McLaren 62.8 and Ferrari 62.5. That 0.3-point gap falls inside the publisher’s own guidance to treat differences below two points as a tie. Keep that rule beside the ranking when you reuse it.
A November launch, an October measurement
The company’s November 5, 2026 launch release introduces a platform for monitoring how AI engines describe brands and planning follow-up work. Its accompanying Formula 1 Index describes 30 questions, seven engines and 207 analyzed answers. The report dates its scan to October 15, 2026, in English, worldwide, with each question asked once per engine. These are the publisher’s reported observations, not a new scan conducted for this article.

Prompted Brand AI Visibility Index: Formula 1 report and scan details
Preserve the score definition
Prompted Brand’s methodology defines visibility as how often a brand appears, weighted by its position in answers. It separately defines accuracy using checked factual claims. The methodology says answers can vary, describes results as snapshots, and instructs readers to treat differences under two points as ties. Its visibility measure does not measure sales or product quality.
Prompted Brand’s published scoring method and limits
A decimal leaderboard can make a small difference look decisive. Subtracting 62.5 from 62.8 produces 0.3 score points. Applying the stated interpretation rule supports describing the two brands as effectively tied on this measure, even while retaining their displayed order. The two-point rule is the publisher’s interpretation guidance; it is not a confidence interval calculated here.
Write a reusable measurement label
For a presentation, put the essential context in the same caption as the numbers: publisher, edition, scan date, language, geographic scope, question set, engines, analyzed-answer count and tie guidance. A launch date tells readers when the product announcement appeared. A scan date tells them when the observed answers were collected. Neither should silently replace the other.
- Keep the original score name. Do not relabel a visibility score as accuracy, customer preference or conversion rate.
- Retain the scope when copying the result into a client deck; a short excerpt should not become a claim about every user or market.
- Keep the question list or its reference with the report so later comparisons can identify changes in what was asked.
- Show uncertainty in words beside the ranking, rather than leaving the caveat in a distant appendix.
A fictional reporting decision
Imagine an agency preparing a one-page category review. It could headline the observed top pair as effectively tied under the publisher’s rule, print the two original scores underneath, and state the October scan date. That preserves both the arithmetic and the limits. Calling the gap a decisive lead would discard the interpretation rule.
If the agency later runs its own comparison, it should label that as a separate exercise. Changes in prompts, engines, language, timing or account context complicate a trend comparison. A later score is most useful when readers can see what stayed the same and what changed.
What this example can support
Use the report as a lesson in keeping definitions and interpretation together. The scores alone do not establish which marketing action caused an outcome or which action will improve your business. No Prompted Brand account, paid plan, advertising campaign or independent AI-answer scan was operated for this article.
