Question examples are shown as plain-language themes. The linked original release preserves the exact questions and answer records; observed counts refer to that release.
How to read this: a count is the number of answers that cited the page. The vendors column comes from fetching each page on 2026-09-28 (robots.txt respected) and matching the 22 Index vendors in this category by name. A vendor listed on a page is not a vendor the engines named. A page cited today may not be cited next month.
Observed answers on stated dates, not a ranking. Absence Index release 2026-09, method v1.1, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22907695.
