How to read this section
- 1Which buyer questions you compete on — you cannot be recommended for everything.
- 2Memory or retrieval: being named from the model’s own knowledge is durable but slow; being cited after a live search is faster but fragile.

- 4What you measure: mention rate on real buyer questions, or impressions and rank. Pick one north star.
