Competitive intelligence · two controlled observation windows

THP was neither mentioned nor cited in either same-day observation window.

The first window recorded 13 observed and 29 blocked cells. The follow-up recorded 12 observed and 30 provider-blocked cells. These windows test repeatability and availability—not a weekly trend, traffic, demand, or commercial outcome.

Two same-day windows, still not a trend

Only 12 like-for-like cells were observable in both windows. Later weekly comparable runs are required before THP can report movement, improvement, decline, or share of voice.

Citation boundaries

  • 54 exact answer-source URLs were observed.
  • 23 ordinary search links were retained separately.
  • 0 observation exposed domains without exact URLs.
  • Only URLs explicitly exposed as sources by an AI answer count as exact citation URLs. Ordinary search result links remain separate.

Same-day repeatability boundary

Only the 12 cells observed in both windows are comparable. The 30 provider-blocked follow-up cells and entity churn are excluded. This does not establish improvement, decline, share of voice, traffic, demand, or commercial outcome.

Observed entities and domains

The downloadable aggregate lists named entities and cited domains only where they appeared on an observed surface. Appearance is not verification, endorsement, ranking, recommendation accuracy, or proof of contractor quality.

Methodology and limitations

  • Blocked, blank, challenge-intercepted, and sign-in-gated surfaces remain blocked and are never replaced with another provider's results.
  • THP mentions and exact THP citations are counted separately.
  • These are two same-day observation windows. They can show repeatability and provider availability, but they are not a weekly trend.
  • Only like-for-like cells observed in both windows may be compared. Unavailable cells and recommendation-entity churn are excluded.
  • Named entities and domains are reported as observed surface output, not verified endorsements, rankings, accuracy findings, or contractor quality.
