Architecture & Engineering (AEC): AI Visibility Ranking

Project and practice management software for architecture, engineering, and construction design firms. Right now, BQE CORE is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 47 and the #1 spot in 4% of answers. Head-to-head: BQE CORE vs Monograph →

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.

AEC has no clear leader; BQE CORE and Monograph are nearly tied.

BQE CORE leads at 47 points but Monograph trails by only 3, making this a genuinely contested race rather than a settled one. Gemini is the deciding engine here: it scores Monograph at 63 and BQE CORE at 58, while Claude and ChatGPT split more evenly across the two. Deltek Ajera is the strangest data point, pulling a 17% first-pick rate despite a composite score of 23, driven almost entirely by ChatGPT at 55 while Claude and Gemini largely ignore it.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.

Just below the cutoff: AWS (5), Notion (4.9), Blender (4.9), BST Global (4), Mosaic (4). 127 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.

Visibility Score: position-weighted presence across all measured answers, 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the brand was the first recommendation in every answer. Every point in a trend line is a live monthly measurement; there is no modeled or backfilled history. Full methodology.

Openness 53/100: the share of this category's recommendation weight not held by the leader.
