What we observed in this category

Deloitte and Accenture both sit at 50% visibility, far above the category average of 8.1%, and together dominate the top two ranks. The gap between these two firms and the next cluster of brands at 12.5% visibility is substantial, meaning Deloitte and Accenture absorb most of the AI-generated attention in this category. Deloitte edges ahead with a composite score of 42.5 versus Accenture's 35.0, a difference driven entirely by citation performance rather than raw visibility.

The divergence between visibility and citation is most striking at rank two. Accenture matches Deloitte on visibility at 50% but records a 0% citation rate, while Deloitte earns a 25% citation rate. This means Accenture is named in AI responses but its domain is not being cited as a source. Lovelytics and Capgemini both sit at 12.5% on both metrics, showing consistent named-and-cited presence, whereas Slalom, phData, and Tredence appear at 12.5% visibility with zero citations.

All ten audited brands share Google AI Mode as their top engine, confirming the entire category's AI visibility is concentrated on a single surface. The top cited sources in the category are not the consulting brands themselves but third-party and platform sites, led by databricks.com, followed by linkedin.com, opinov8.com, and reddit.com. This pattern suggests AI Mode anchors its responses on Databricks' own ecosystem content and community sources rather than on the consulting partners' own domains.
