Key takeaways
What this check tells you
Movement
Best Budget-Friendly Restaurants saw 100 of its 24 tracked entities change position between checks, the highest turnover of any category tracked.
Concentration
In Best Rainy-Day Attractions, Powell's City of Books, Portland, and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry pull 31% of mentions versus the 16.7% they'd get if AI spread recommendations evenly across all attractions.
Movement
Best Winter Experiences and Best Local Experiences both showed heavy volatility, with 75 and 74 entities respectively changing position, well above categories like Best Day Trips at 22.
Concentration
Best Hidden Gems shows the widest gap between top-3 concentration and its even-split baseline among lower-mention categories, with Opal Creek Wilderness, Cottonwood Canyon State Park, and Painted Hills taking 17.4% of mentions against an 8.6% expected share.
Lead finding
Oregon's AI-perceived identity is dominated by a single theme, Farm-to-table, driving a concentration finding of 152%.
Oregon's strongest AI narrative signal is a Concentration finding of 152%, anchored by Farm-to-table as its core theme and reinforced by supporting themes like fresh seafood, outdoor adventure, and fine dining. Sentiment around these themes is overwhelmingly positive, with 97% of 293 rated mentions favorable and none negative. Yet Oregon's cross-model agreement rate of 3% and distinctiveness score of 10% both fall well below the network averages of 5% and 21%, showing AI models describe it less consistently and less uniquely than typical destinations. The result is a warmly praised but narrowly concentrated and not especially distinctive AI presence.
