Category universe
Energy and LNG · Wave Q1 2026Who takes part in the primary choice
The index measures the category's players by one methodology in a single wave. A single object's position only means something relative to this universe.
The release universe — the category's players measured in this wave by one methodology.
The company sits below the universe median (28). The gap is structural: the mechanics of getting into the primary choice are not worked out across the whole group of Russian objects in the category.
CCI and competitors
25 CCI points ≈ 2 percentage points of market share — a working calibration.

Presence map
Choice Control Index Regasification terminal operator
A model projection by buyer type on the India market: a cell estimates the share of scenarios in which the AI assistant puts the company on the primary shortlist. The study's buyer is measured; other types are derived from it.
Empty cells are markets where the measurement has not been collected yet.
The largest gap is on the priority export markets with the highest capacity: the larger the demand, the denser it is taken by competitors.
Buyer type «Operator of a new LNG project» in the India market: CCI 6. The primary choice is formed mostly between competitors.
Choice scenarios in the cell
The key scenarios are shown; the full list is in the analysis.

What this means
The company enters the primary AI choice with an index of 2 out of 100. This is not an assessment of the product — it is an assessment of how machine-readably the company is present in the sources AI systems rely on.
This is manageable. The cells with the highest index show that, given a structured argument, the systems readily put the company into the shortlist. The task is to extend that to the remaining cells.
Index sensitivity
Wave Q1 2026What a higher position can change
Change the target CCI and source coverage to see the model's sensitivity. The calculation shows a possible change of position inside the model and is not a revenue forecast.
Move the target index level — the model recalculates what share of the category is redistributed.
+1.07 pp correspond to ≈ $2.1 mn of category capacity. This is not the company's potential revenue. The realisable commercial opportunity depends on the product, price, capacity, sales channels, contract structure and the constraints of the particular market.

Analytical summary
Key findings of the study
Measurement
Measured: the Choice Control Index, the participation and win indices, the composition of shortlists in the choice scenarios.
Projection
Projected: the distribution across buyer types, the reachable market and the sensitivity of category share to the index. These are model estimates, not a measurement.

Long-term LNG supply contracts pull Russian players into the discussion, but when it comes to technology and equipment the AI systems consistently recommend Western and Japanese vendors.
Choice question: Choosing a cryogenic equipment supplier for a regasification terminal in India
Universe of the “Natural gas liquefaction technology × India” study: 4 objects in the choice funnel, one methodology, one wave.
This is a managerial gap, not a reputational one: the sources AI systems rely on do not carry structured data about the company in the form they quote for its competitors.
