Note on Citee Index data:
|
|
|
|
While this methodology is MIT-licensed and freely usable, the Citee Index
|
|
itself (the published rankings, raw query logs, and brand-level scores) is
|
|
provided under a separate data license described at
|
|
https://citee.ai/data-license. The methodology being open does not imply
|
|
that derived datasets from Citee scans are public domain.
|
|
|
|
Disclaimer regarding scoring:
|
|
|
|
Citee Index scores represent expressions of opinion based on observed AI
|
|
model outputs at specific points in time. They are not factual claims about
|
|
the relative quality, popularity, or merit of any brand. The methodology is
|
|
a framework for converting observed AI outputs into a comparable index;
|
|
reasonable people could construct alternative methodologies that produce
|
|
different rankings.
