AI Perception Summary
Tracksmith maintains a strong, niche authority on ChatGPT and Gemini, particularly for aesthetic-driven and heritage-focused queries where it frequently outranks larger competitors in position. However, its overall visibility is capped by a total absence on Claude and inconsistent performance in broad technical categories like carbon-plated footwear and high-performance singlets.

- Dominant performance in aesthetic-specific queries such as 'running brands that don't look like neon power rangers'.
- Excellent reputation and brand sentiment across ChatGPT and Gemini for winter running gear and the Eliot Racer brand vibe checks.

Visibility Gaps
- Zero visibility on Claude (0% mention rate), a significant blind spot for a premium demographic.
- Inconsistent ranking for core technical apparel; singlets fluctuated between #1 and #14 across different sessions.
- Underperforming in the 'best carbon plate racing shoes' category, often failing to be mentioned alongside Nike or Saucony despite the Eliot Racer's existence.
