Metric · Competition
Surface leaders
Definition
The brand or competitor with the highest mention rate on each AI surface in the selected range.
How it is calculated
This comparison makes differences between answer engines visible without blending their results into one overall leader.
Where to see it
This metric appears in the refd dashboard and in the no-signup demo, and every value links back to the AI answer it was scored from. A number you cannot trace to an answer cannot be checked, so refd keeps the raw response behind each one.
The definition above is the one the product uses. It is read directly from the same source the dashboard and the MCP server read, so this page cannot drift from the software.
