Agreement is meaningfully below the level most teams assume.

## Methodology

Built from 797,644 valid comparisons across 44,088 reports and 8 models, covering 6,439,133 model responses in the observed window.

## Claim

Average cross-model agreement in the model divergence study is 43.3 percent across 797,644 valid comparisons.

## Why it matters

Strategists and operators must treat each artificial intelligence model as a distinct visibility surface, as the low agreement rate indicates that optimizing for one model does not guarantee visibility or consistent answers across others.

## Supporting metrics

| Metric | Value | Context |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Average agreement | 43.3% | Mean cross-model agreement rate. |
| Valid comparisons | 797,644 | Cross-model recommendation comparisons in the study. |
