How it works
From a question to a number
There is no magic and no privileged access. We ask the models the way a customer asks them, we record every answer, and we count. This page shows exactly how.
- 1Question
- 4Models
- 3Repetitions

The flow
What happens to a single question
One question multiplies into answers, and the answers reduce to one number.
- 1QuestionWritten the way a customer would write it.
- 4ModelsChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity.
- 3RepetitionsBecause the same model does not answer the same way twice.
- 12AnswersStored as raw text.
- 1ResultOne result, calculated through four indicators.
For a full audit with 60 questions, this becomes 720 answers.
Stages
Four stages, every one of them checkable by you
At each stage you can check the work, because the material travels with you.
The data
What we record for every answer
This is why you can check our conclusions yourself.

Variance
Why one answer is not enough
The same model, the same question, the same day. The answers come back different, which is why a single assessment is not enough.
- Repetition 1
Mentions [Clinic A] and [Clinic B]
2 businesses - Repetition 2
Mentions [Clinic A], [Clinic C] and [Clinic D]
3 businesses - Repetition 3
Declines to recommend and suggests searching yourself
0 businesses
Across three repetitions, your business was mentioned zero times. That is the finding. From a single repetition, we would not know whether it was chance.
