# Brand Radar Relevance Review V2

## Purpose

This derivative removes clearly non-automotive records from the initial frozen 515-record Brand Radar analysis population. The original response, citation, selection and audit files remain unchanged.

## Eligibility Rules

Every frozen record was reviewed using its full saved question and relevant answer context.

- **Retain automotive:** The question concerns a road vehicle, vehicle model, powertrain, vehicle category, ownership, purchase, towing or a vehicle-specific accessory, and the answer context aligns.
- **Resolve ambiguous wording from the answer:** Generic phrases such as hybrid vs electric were retained only when the answer clearly discusses cars or road vehicles.
- **Retain explicit automotive questions with a blank answer:** small suv comparison remains eligible because the question is unambiguously automotive, although the saved AI Mode response is blank.
- **Retain automotive scope edges:** byd atto 3 floor mats is vehicle-accessory intent. best electric 4wd australia covers passenger and utility vehicles. Both remain eligible and are labelled in the register.
- **Exclude non-automotive:** Five flooring answers and one Tesla Powerwall residential-energy answer were excluded because their saved context is wholly outside the automotive scope.

No factual accuracy, source quality or market-fit verdict was changed by this review.

All 515 records have a recorded provider snapshot date. The eligibility register includes a snapshot_date_status field so an unknown date would remain visible rather than be inferred. The single blank answer is also explicitly labelled and retained on question relevance only.

## Results

| Measure | Frozen Original | Relevance-Clean V2 |
|---|---:|---:|
| Included records | 515 | 509 |
| AI Overview records | 306 | 302 |
| AI Mode records | 209 | 207 |
| Exact matched questions | 118 | 116 |
| Exact matched responses | 236 | 232 |

The seven shared questions with multiple records for at least one source remain excluded from the matched comparison. The retained AI Mode population still contains one blank answer.

The clean 116-question source comparison gives YouTube 34 AI Overview answers and 71 AI Mode answers. Carsales appears in 42 and 55 respectively. Provider snapshot dates differ, so this is a descriptive archive comparison.

The explicit overseas URL-marker numerator remains 12 AI Overview records and 22 AI Mode records. The cleaned denominators are 302 and 207. These markers describe URL syntax only and do not establish source market, claim support or factual error.


Public chart data uses the cleaned 509-record population and the 116 matched-question pairs. It does not use the superseded 118-pair comparison.
