Florida Executive Summary Women's AI Visibility Report

The Five Headline Findings, in Brief · May 2026

A concise, citable overview of WAVI's third state study.  The essential findings from a three-platform analysis of more than 400 Florida women attorneys, distilled for attorneys, firm leaders, journalists, and bar associations who need the headline numbers before the full technical detail.

The executive summary covers the five findings that define the Florida study:

• The Platform Inversion — Florida is the first state where Google's AI recognizes women attorneys least. Gemini falls to 44.6/95, below both Perplexity and ChatGPT, reversing the pattern seen in Colorado and Texas.

• Convergence — Roughly seven in ten Florida women attorneys fall below the AI visibility threshold; the two most rigorous platforms agree at 73.2% and 71.3%.

• Entity invisibility — Zero of 422 attorneys hold a complete Wikidata entity. They are findable, but not anchored as recognized entities in the structured knowledge layers AI systems rely on.

• Borrowed Visibility — Firm sites now supply just 36.6% of Perplexity citations, down from 55% in Texas. Attorneys with high aggregator dependence score 23.6 points lower than those with none.

• The Perception Gap — What is technically present and what AI perceives differ by 53.9 points: structured data sits on 58.2% of firm sites, but Perplexity perceives it on roughly 4.3%.

Read as a whole, the findings describe a market where women attorneys are findable but not authoritative, present in the index but not anchored as entities, and increasingly visible through infrastructure they do not own. The gap is a diversity finding.  The fix is an infrastructure investment.
