An independent register of what AI systems actually recommend
NuLogic records which products and providers large language models name in response to real buying questions, publishes the resulting standings, and documents the method in full. Position on the register is not for sale, at any price, to anyone.
Why a register, and why now
Buying decisions increasingly begin inside an answer rather than a results page. A model is asked what to use, it names a handful of options, and most of the candidate set is never seen. Which names appear is now a commercial fact about a market.
That fact is measurable. It is not currently measured by anyone whose figures a buyer can inspect, and the instruments the software industry inherited from search were built to count a different thing on a page that fewer people reach.
NuLogic exists to record it, on a stated method, on a stated sample, with the date attached.
Finding F-001
Crawl volume does not predict arrivals
The industry counts how often AI systems fetch and cite a site. Measured on one engine at both ends, that count carries almost no information about how many people the engine then sends.
Spearman rho between how much a site is crawled and how many visitors it receives. Zero would mean crawl volume tells you nothing. This is fractionally worse than nothing.
Between the best and worst non-zero property, in visitors delivered per thousand crawler fetches. Same engine, same funnel, same operator.
Independent sites, one operator, both ends of the funnel instrumented. Small enough to state as a sample and not as a law.
Visitors delivered per one thousand crawler fetches, by property. The properties at the foot of this chart are crawled as heavily as the ones at the head.
In. Cloudflare AI Crawl Control, OpenAI crawler fetches per day. 45 daily snapshots, 2026-07-30 to 2026-09-20.
Out. GA4 Data API, ChatGPT referral sessions per day, sessionSource. 28d trailing, pulled 2026-09-21.
Corroboration. Bing Webmaster Tools impressions versus GA4 AI-referred session share, Lattice Measurement Atlas 02, pulled 2026-09-21. Reached the same conclusion from a different instrument pair with no shared inputs: search reach and AI arrival are close to independent.
† Fewer than five hundred sessions from all channels over the window, so the ratio on that row is noisy and should not carry an argument by itself.
- The two windows differ. Crawl is a 45 day recent sample and sessions are a 28 day trailing average, so the ratio is directional rather than a same window measurement.
- The session side is measured by a JavaScript analytics client, so visitors using ad blockers or no-JS clients are not counted. Every session figure here is a floor, not a total.
- A zero is a measured zero for a referral source string. It is not proof that nobody arrived.
- Properties differ enormously in size, and a small property's ratio is noisy. The lowest row here draws only 71 sessions from all channels combined over the same window, so its zero is weak evidence. The strongest evidence in this chart is the large, healthy property that draws thousands of sessions and still converts almost no crawler attention into arrivals.
This is a single operator's network and is published as a sample, not as a finding about the whole web. A second instrument pair reached the same conclusion independently on the same day, which is stated in the source rail above.
What NuLogic publishes
Recorded standings
For a defined category, which providers are named by how many engines in a recorded sample, stated as a count and never as a superlative. A standing is a description of what was recorded, not a verdict on quality.
The method behind every figure
The engine set, the sample depth, the window, the query construction and the refusal conditions. Published before the figures, so the figures can be argued with.
Findings, dated and bounded
What the record shows about how these systems select sources, including the parts that argue against our own position. A finding without its caveat is advertising.
What is, and is not, for sale
An index is worth reading only if the reader knows exactly which parts of it money can reach. This is the whole of it.
Earned, never purchasable
- Inclusion in a recorded standing
- Position within that standing
- The engine count attached to a provider
- Whether a provider qualifies for a badge
- The wording of any recorded figure
Commercially available
- A licence to reprint a standing you already hold
- A subscription to the underlying recorded data
- Extended historical access to your own record
Status
This is a founding notice rather than a launch. The method and the commitments are published ahead of the register itself, so that both can be held against us afterwards.
