What was not measured

• Only the questions listed were asked. Absence on a question outside this set was not measured.
• Each question ran three scheduled times on each engine. Answers vary between runs, and the intervals show that uncertainty for these answers only.
• Tone is not scored. An answer that names you counts as named whatever it says about you.
• A citation is an address an answer referenced, not a visit, a click or a cause of the answer.
• Excluded answers, those an engine did not return or did not return in full, are shown as excluded with their reason and sit in no rate base.
• Single turn questions, asked logged out. A buyer's own history and follow up questions can change what an engine says.
• Nothing here predicts future answers or traffic, and no result is promised beyond the engagement terms.
• No figure is compared across method versions.

Buyer Fit Passport

Each question, whether the buyer confirmed it fits the people who buy in this category, and when.
