The Barometer · live

AI changes its mind. We measure how often.

Old search rankings held for months. You earned a spot and it mostly stayed. AI is different: it can recommend a different business from one check to the next. The Barometer is our live reading of that instability, sampled across real local markets.

Caught in the act

Recent changes, with names

Each row is a real local market where AI named a different number-one business between two checks. Not a single answer: a sampled consensus each time.

How we read it

Real data, honestly measured

Sampled, not single

For each market we ask AI many times and take the consensus number one, so a flip reflects a real shift in the pattern, not one stray answer.

Compared over time

We store each reading and compare it to the last. A change counts only when the consensus top pick actually moves.

Real markets, free engine

These are real "best business in city" questions, run on the same engine that powers your forecast. We never invent a number. When there is no signal, we say so.
