METHOD

## How this ranking is built

01

### Questions

The questions are unbranded, in English and give no country, modelled on what people ask on forums, review sites and in the search box; the same set is asked every month.

02

### Answers

Every answer in this measurement comes from Claude Opus 5.5, without web search. We record the brands each answer names, their order and the tone.

03

### Limits

SI answers vary a little each time and the model's knowledge stops at a point in time, so current prices and campaigns may not show up.
