    "description": "Visibility Score (0-100) is the share of AI model × candidate-experience-theme combinations within an industry and country where the company was mentioned in AI-generated answers to candidate-style questions. Ranks are computed per industry and country; ties break by mention count, then company name. Responses from other assistants (e.g. Claude, DeepSeek) are collected for research but not included in index scoring.",
