Discovery is collapsing.

The category page, the ten blue links, the comparison grid: all of it is being compressed into a single recommendation from an AI assistant. The customer asks one question. The system returns one answer.

In that world, the brand the customer can name by name is the brand that gets named back. Brand recognition stops being a soft asset and becomes the moat.
