From the monitor
Who the engines name, with the error bars left in
Share of answers naming each brand in two recorded runs. The bar is the 95% interval, the dot the observed rate. Where bars overlap, the run cannot rank those brands, and we do not pretend it can.
Vector database
Recorded Sep 17, 2026 · 6 questions × 4 runs · n=24
pgvector and Redis are named in none of the 24 answers, and pgvector ships inside Postgres. That is not low visibility, it is the wrong question: these ask for companies, vendors and platforms, and an extension is none of those. Different cause, different fix — and a ranking alone would have shown it as a zero with no explanation.
Decentralised exchange
Recorded Jul 27, 2026 · 14 questions × 3 runs · n=42
The most cited domain of all belongs to a wallet, not an exchange, answering questions about a category it does not compete in. A share-of-voice number alone would never have surfaced that.
