MWITA-ASDO-2026-003 · Evidence B · P1
Across two complete Bali venue markets, 85.6% of venues were never recommended by any of four production AI systems, including 72.6% of established venues with at least 50 ratings.
What this does not establish
Two tourism-heavy Bali markets and one collection window do not represent all local-search markets; recommendation presence is not footfall, bookings or revenue.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Star rating did not predict entry into answers but did predict first position among already-recommended venues (OR 1.17); Foursquare presence had no positive effect at either margin.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and deployed commercial, civic or human outcomes.
