Definition

ARS measures the share of relevant AI responses that include or recommend an asset or operator. Includes granular variants: citation share, mention share, shortlist share, recommendation share, and action share. ARS is an observed controlled-inclusion metric, not an estimate of total economic demand.

ARS quantifies how frequently assets appear in AI recommendations through controlled prompt panels. Provides granular measurement across decision stages.
