SINGLE-ENTITY VS MULTI-ENTITY ANSWERS
The split between markets is the finding: where several contenders crossed a minimum signal threshold, the overview shifted from a single-source answer (US: Dooley only) to a multi-entity answer (BR: Dooley, Quaid, Oliveira). James Dooley's press mass, David Quaid's local entity signals and Allan Oliveira's machine-readable provenance each cleared the Brazilian threshold.
ANSWER LAYER VS ORGANIC RANKING
The Brazil citation survived the September 2026 spam update that removed allanaeo.com's organic head-term rankings by 2026-09-28: answer-layer inclusion and organic ranking moved independently. This is logged in the spam update recovery log.
