King of The 23:15 AWST pass returned no Marc Moeller mentions in 18 ChatGPT and 18 Gemini answers across the US, UK and Australia. The 02:00 AWST pass returned no Marc mentions in six Australia ChatGPT answers. Google organic search returned 11 of 12 valid responses in the first pass and three of four in the second; each pass had one missing provider result.
This is a self-published diagnostic from the King of AEO competition team, led by JP Zhang. It is not independent endorsement, an official benchmark rerun or a title decision. The supplied 79.8 Visibility Index, its pending raw export and the 80.45 formula reconciliation remain separate and unchanged. No index is pooled or calculated here.

Why are these scopes not interchangeable?
The 02:00 pass sampled only Australia ChatGPT and Google organic. Gemini, the US and the UK were deliberately not requested. The closest 23:15 Australia subset was also zero in six ChatGPT answers and zero matches in four valid organic searches; the later failed organic query prevents a complete four-query comparison.
The consumer browser diagnostic observed one US Google AI Mode contender mention and two ordinary US result-page appearances. Those positive organic listings came from prompts 5 and 6. Overnight organic sampling used only prompts 1–4, and the 02:00 pass was Australia only. These negative samples neither reproduce nor invalidate the consumer captures and do not establish a regression.
How should the sources be interpreted?
Source URLs are included without answer bodies or snippets. Provenance classifications appear only where reviewed; unclassified does not mean independent. In the 23:15 Gemini review, all 135 unique grounding redirects were resolved to 28 destinations. None matched the tracked project/Marc sites or reviewed released-video IDs. Redirect resolution confirms a destination, not its claims.
Two competition-named Reddit links were later checked and identified as claimant-authored promotion by Allan Oliveira. Neither reviewed post body mentioned Marc. A forum name alone is not evidence that a post represents JP’s competition or recognises Marc.
The 02:00 source review distinguishes claimant/company pages, self-authored social posts, identifiable press-release syndication, commentary, videos and educational guides. It did not newly fetch destination content. None of these classifications endorses title claims or independently adjudicates JP-team results.
Method and limitations
One response per requested product, market and frozen prompt. No Marc name, site, score or ownership hints added. DataForSEO country location codes and Gemini search-grounding location hints. These API/scraper products are not the same as the separate consumer browser sessions.

- No Marc or JP-team recognition was found within these sampled answers; that does not establish universal absence.
- Claims made by model answers about rivals, ceremonies or governing bodies are not republished as verified facts.
- Missing provider searches are excluded from match denominators. Transport success or no local collection exception does not turn a failed provider task into a valid observation.
- Publications and discovery actions occurred near the first sample. Current publication context cannot prove continuous exposure or which action caused any answer.
- Successful sitemap processing or URL discovery is not proof of indexing or ranking.
The observer began before the current attribution correction. Obsolete wording in its automatic method metadata is superseded by the reviewed JP-team attribution used here. Original records remain unchanged. Current governance is unambiguous: JP Zhang’s independent competition team operates the competition and measures its results; Marc Moeller is a competitor.
Answer bodies, screenshots, request payloads, account/authentication data, private paths and operational process details are excluded. Only completed, reviewed passes appear; uncollected or unreviewed checkpoints are not counted as zero. The first title decision remains scheduled for 14 October 2026.
