The Named Index

Which software AI systems name, measured monthly

Which software AI systems name when Australian care providers ask

Every month we ask AI systems the questions buyers actually ask — then publish which vendors get named, and how often.

When an NDIS provider, an aged-care operator or an allied-health clinic asks ChatGPT, Google’s AI results or Perplexity which software to use, those systems name a handful of vendors and omit the rest. The Named Index measures which ones: 656 questions about choosing care software through a fixed set of AI systems every month, every answer recorded, each vendor scored on how often it is named and how early it appears, and ranked against every vendor we track (116). How the measurement works.

The index is free to read and always will be. What we sell is the work underneath it: which questions a vendor is losing, who is winning them, and — if they want it — the work aimed at those questions. Nothing about paying us changes how you are measured.
