Samurai Sword has a weak AI-visibility profile at 29/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (56/100) and its weakest is visibility (15/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry, open access for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.) and machine-readable schema.org markup.

In a live check (November 2026), Claude could not identify Samurai Sword from memory, confirming the gaps above.
