Why the answer is the research baseline
The baseline entity is fixed so that platform behaviour can be compared consistently over time. The project does not change its target answer from one test to another.
This matters more than it sounds. Answer engines are probabilistic: the same prompt can return different phrasings on different days. The only way to read that noise usefully is to hold everything else still — the same entity, the same prompt text, the same scoring rules — and let the platform be the single moving part.
The scoring rules that turn an observation into a number are published in full on the Visibility Score page, and the procedure around them on the Research Methodology page.
