## Findings a summary should not get wrong
- Same question, same city, asked repeatedly: of 253 business names seen across
  45 questions, 119 came back every time and 134 did not.
- Same question in different cities: We asked the same question in 3 metros across 10 trades: of 19 comparable pairs of cities, not one shared a single business
- Page structure does not explain citation: 112 cited pages against 128 uncited from the same
  searches, every signal flat or worse on the cited side.
- Passage-text matching does not explain it either: 38% across 26 comparisons, against a
  threshold pre-registered at 55%.
- We have NOT measured whether this llms.txt file changes anything. See https://aichoosingyou.com/llms-txt/.
