How to read this

This is one weekly snapshot: 24 answers per category (6 questions, 4 engines), so the confidence interval above is wide for small samples. Engines change their answers between runs. A brand that is not tracked here may still be named; we only track the brands we listed in advance for each category. The data is free to reuse under CC BY 4.0: brands CSV, methodology.

Across all 231 answers in 2026-W43, 69% of the 1,503 cited pages were third-party sites (reviews, listicles, forums, publishers) and the rest were vendors’ own domains. So for most brands, what AI engines say depends on what other sites say. Full 2026-W43 edition.
