Answers come from each assistant's interface for software: a close proxy for what a person sees in the app, not a copy. Each company is counted once per answer that names it. Share of voice: of all the times a company was named, how often it was this one. Position: where it came among the companies an answer named, in the order the answer named them, counting companies named in the answer's words, names written as links included, but not a company that appears only as a web address or a cited source.
