The Aurelian Watch 2026 Observatory Report is open access on Zenodo.

On 30 October 2026 Aurelian Lab deposited on Zenodo, in English and under a CC BY 4.0 licence, the report “Aurelian Watch Observatory 2026 Report: The era of Symphonic Reputation”. It analyses 50 mid-sized Italian companies, with 2,450 answers collected from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity and 6,460 citations analysed.

The main finding concerns the difference between being known and being chosen: 46 companies out of 50 are described correctly when the question names them, while 12 out of 50 never appear in answers to sector questions.

The report can be cited with the DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23814625. The data are read and discussed in the November 2026 working paper.
