  "methodology": "Every tracked tool in the category is asked the same set of buyer questions, on the same schedule, across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot. A check counts as cited when the engine names the tool in its answer to a question that did not name it first. Counts are raw answers over the trailing window; no weighting, no sampling, no estimates. PressGEO publishes this report and is measured in it by the same rules as every other tool.",
