Method and caveats
- “Named at least once” is the share of checked firms that appeared in any sampled answer in the window — not a per-answer citation rate.
- Unchecked firms are excluded. Appearing or not appearing is not a judgement of service quality.
- Rolling 90-day observations across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot; figures update as checks are recorded.
