DTC: running shoes

As of 2026-06-07. 5 brands across 3 surfaces. Observed live by querying the assistants directly and recording their real answers. A reading on a date, not a permanent fact.

The status on each surface is its advertising status (LIVE = ads buyable today; ANNOUNCED / RUMORED = monetization coming or reported), not the reliability of the observation. Every cell was read live regardless. Coverage is not a full grid: some surfaces were read on fewer queries, so per-brand denominators differ.

Observed live: every cell is grounded in the real answer an assistant gave to a real query, captured directly in the browser on the date shown, not inferred from the public corpus. A reading on a date, not a permanent fact. Coverage is not always a full grid: a surface may be read on fewer queries than another, so per-brand denominators can differ (see the per-surface query counts). The LIVE / ANNOUNCED / RUMORED label on each surface is its ADVERTISING status (whether ads are buyable there), not the reliability of the observation; every cell was read live regardless. A brand named without an explicit rank is counted as cited (one point, no position bonus) and shows average position n/a. Some assistants personalize to the signed-in user, so a reading is one segment, not a universal ranking. Brands with too few observed citations are listed as insufficient-data, not ranked. Where a labeled sponsored slot was shown it is recorded against the observed advertiser.
