The ranking
Showing 2 brands AI ranks as component manufacturers. The other 9 of 11 brands AI mentions in this category appear as distributors or category-surface entities (paid evidence layer).
Share is each brand’s portion of AI’s total mentions for this category. Mention counts are cumulative across the consensus panel and tracking weeks. Not normalized for panel turnover or model outages — cross-category comparisons require the evidence layer.
Threshold rule, panel breadth, observed week, and the per-brand statistics behind each row — plus the reality checks (vantage alignment, supply geography, buyer vocabulary) that tell you whether AI’s rank for Soldering Equipment holds up off-screen.
