Methodology
What was measured—and what was not
Collection
50 English category, comparison and use-case prompts were asked to ChatGPT (GPT-5.5), Gemini (Gemini 2.5 Pro), and Perplexity (Sonar Pro) on 2026-08-23. The final validated appendix contains 150 of 150 answers.
Extraction
A separate extraction pass at temperature 0 distinguished explicit recommendations and ordered picks from mere mentions. Citation analysis covers URLs returned with Perplexity answers.
Limits
This is a single-run sample. Model outputs are stochastic, ranks can move between runs, and observed citation relationships are correlation—not proof of causation. Results are a dated benchmark, not a permanent market ranking.
Independence disclosure: Aivius benchmarks brands independently using the same methodology. No brand receives preferential treatment. Brand names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
