Weights define the planned aggregation model. A score can be published only after the minimum sample, repeated runs, evidence capture and human approval rules are satisfied.
20
Mention visibility

25
Recommendation visibility

Citation visibility
Whether answers cite sources that substantiate the business mention or recommendation.
20
Factual accuracy
Accuracy of identity, service, location, and contact claims in the observed answer.
15
Entity and trust consistency
Consistency between observed claims and verifiable public business evidence.

Correction and evidence submissions
Businesses may submit corrections with an official website, legal or trade identity, verified location, service evidence and the disputed observation. Submissions do not automatically change a record; a human reviewer checks the evidence and records the decision.
Submit correction evidenceFrequently asked questions
Does the UAE AI Visibility Index currently rank companies?
No. Phase 1 publishes the methodology, evidence contract and pilot scope. No company score or ranking is public until observations are collected, reproduced and approved by a human reviewer.
What will the Vista AI Visibility Index measure?
It will measure business mentions, explicit recommendations, supporting citations, factual accuracy, and entity trust consistency across tested UAE buyer questions.
Which UAE sectors are included in the first study?
The pilot covers real estate, healthcare and clinics, hospitality and restaurants, interior design and construction, and digital agencies and professional services.
Can a business challenge or correct its evidence?
Yes. A business can submit its legal identity, official website, location, service evidence and source corrections. Vista records the submission and requires human review before changing public evidence.
Can Vista guarantee that an AI system will recommend a company?
No. AI outputs vary by model, date, prompt and location context. The Index reports reproducible observations and limitations; it does not guarantee future recommendations.
