Cannabis Retail & Dispensary: AI Visibility Ranking

Retail and compliance software for cannabis dispensaries covering point of sale, inventory, and regulatory tracking. Right now, Dutchie is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 81 and the #1 spot in 72% of answers. Head-to-head: Dutchie vs Flowhub →

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.

Dutchie leads by a thread in a genuinely unsettled race.

Dutchie's 3-point edge over Flowhub is narrow enough that a single model shift could flip the ranking. Flowhub actually gets mentioned more often, at 74% of answers versus Dutchie's 68%, but converts far fewer of those mentions into first picks. Cova and Treez both appear in roughly 70% of answers yet rarely lead, leaving the first-pick conversation almost entirely between two brands separated by almost nothing.

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: KORONA POS (2.8), Azure (2.6), AWS (2.6), Microsoft Entra ID (2.1), Proteus420 (1.9). 45 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 19/100: the share of this category's recommendation weight not held by the leader.
