Answer position
Where your brand sits inside an AI answer: first named, buried in a list, or used as a cautionary tale.
Presence is not prominence. Being fourth in a list of five is closer to a loss than a win.
Log position as an ordinal when you can parse it. Don’t fake precision on messy prose.
Examples
- ChatGPT names a rival, then “alternatives include you.” That is position: consolation.
- A one-brand answer is position 1 by default — check if the prompt was branded.
