Use mentions for occurrence questions.
Mention counts describe returned occurrences for a selected target and operation context. They do not by themselves explain sentiment, causation, reach, or business impact.
AI visibility metrics · interpretation
Start with the decision you need to make, then select the returned metric and operation that answers it. Mentions and AI Search Volume are context-dependent evidence, not a universal AI visibility or share-of-voice score.

Start with the decision you need to make, then select the returned metric and operation that answers it. Mentions and AI Search Volume are context-dependent evidence, not a universal AI visibility or share-of-voice score.
Keep the selected provider, target, operation, locale, and returned fields attached to every interpretation.
Supported workflow
Mention counts describe returned occurrences for a selected target and operation context. They do not by themselves explain sentiment, causation, reach, or business impact.
AI Search Volume belongs to the operation that supplies it. Keep it separate from conventional keyword search volume and do not extrapolate it to unsupported providers or markets.
A share-of-voice question needs an explicit target set, denominator, provider, and time window. Gavix evidence does not automatically establish a universal share-of-voice calculation.
Record the provider, target, operation, location, language, and returned fields. The result is bounded evidence—not a guarantee, attribution model, exhaustive index, or automatic optimization outcome.
