Research
Studies of how AI-assisted search systems name, recommend and cite sources when the prompt has a Perth or Western Australian context. Each study runs on a fixed prompt set, across named platforms, with repeated runs and a versioned methodology.
Listed so the programme's scope is public. A planned study has no findings and no page of its own. It becomes a report only when its observation file exists under the published methodology.

Each prompt run on each platform produces one observation record. The record structure is fixed and published as a JSON Schema.
| Recorded | What it means |
|---|---|
| Brand mentions | Every business or brand named in an answer, whether or not it was recommended. |
| Recommendations | Brands the answer presented as a shortlist or recommendation, in the order given. |
| Cited domains | The registrable domains behind every citation, classified by source type. |
| Cited URLs | The exact pages cited, so recurring source pages can be identified. |
| Source overlap | Which sources recur across prompts, platforms and runs. |
| Platform differences | The same prompt set run across each platform in scope, compared side by side. |
| Query and prompt classes | Informational, commercial, comparison, recommendation, local, brand, competitor and trust-validation prompts, kept separate. |
| Change over time | Repeated rounds on a fixed prompt set, so movement can be measured rather than assumed. |
