How Russian gas liquefaction technology appears in the algorithmic choice of UAE LNG project operators
Operator of a new LNG project · choosing the liquefaction technology
18 out of 100 — this is how much the object influences the choice in this scenario0 — the buyer never sees you, 100 — you are recommended first
The choice happens right here.
On a specific scenario and in the relevant languages we show where the company holds a strong position and where it starts to lose it.
Pick a company and find out why it loses the position, who takes its place, what the economic effect is and what can be changed.
The category has no standalone public report: the value is derived from the parent market by segment share, so it is directional rather than exact.
Choice scenarios
The scenario is the economic task being measured. It sits below the market: each market has its own scenarios. Switching it recomputes the stages of choice, the point of maximum loss, the journey comparison, and the forecast under “Points of intervention”. The key finding, the loss factors, and the competitors belong to the measurement as a whole.
Language is a run condition, not a separate scenario: the same economic task is asked in the local language and in English. The gap between them is visible in the raw observations at the bottom of the page.

Share of AI-system answers where the object passes each stage of choice and stays in the buyer's consideration field. The early stages make up the Participation Index, the shortlist and recommendation — the Win Index.

Height of a column is the share of answers where the object passes the stage. The narrowing between columns is the loss.
A stage is analytical markup of a step, not a required order of conversation: a journey may start with a recommendation and come back to comparison.
Arctic Cascade is mentioned as a standalone Russian technology, but the AI systems tie it to Arctic conditions and rarely consider it for Persian Gulf projects.
The largest loss occurs between the stages «Consideration» and «Evaluation» −22 pp for Novatek on the selected journey.
Why the position is lost
Choice factors that keep the object out of the final recommendation.
Position depends on the journey and on the scenario
Probability of a final recommendation for Novatek for each decision journey, in both scenarios.
The scenarios are different economic tasks. Their levels may be set side by side but not subtracted: the gap between scenarios is not a deficit to be closed.

How the forecast is calculatedforecast · model
This is a sample analysis for an object that entered the universe of this measurement. The universe is assembled anew at every scan of the category: its composition and the positions within it may change. Forecast, not a measurement. The upper bound is the loss at the narrowest transition, distributed across the weights of the loss factors; stage-passing points are carried into index points one to one, and the conversion coefficient is not yet established by the methodology. The money figure uses a working calibration: CCI is measured inside the category universe rather than against the whole market, so 25 index points are taken as roughly 2 percentage points of market share. The actual gain is obtained empirically only — by repeating the same benchmark after the intervention.

Novatek loses the choice at the stage «Shortlist»
Novatek — 6% · Air Products — 68%. In 68% of observations one of the reasons is the technology is associated only with Arctic conditions.
