Brand recognition
Category entry points
The situations that trigger a category in a buyer's mind: the moments, needs, and occasions through which brands get retrieved from memory.
Nobody buys a category in the abstract. A trigger fires first: the funding round approaches, the website undersells the work, a rival suddenly looks sharper. Each trigger is an entry point, and the brand linked to more of them gets retrieved more often. The same mechanics now govern AI assistants, because buyers phrase prompts as situations and the assistant retrieves whichever brand the written record has attached to that situation.
