The data desk

Written from a measurement machine.

Thousands of measured rank rows, verbatim AI answers, 49-point map scans, real review markets. We publish what the numbers show, with the denominators printed, because a claim you can't expand into its evidence is just an opinion.

Does ChatGPT recommend your business? We asked 600 times.

Over a week in August our panels asked ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google's AI Mode about 600 buyer-style questions about two ordinary local businesses and stored every answer word for word. One is winning and doesn't know it. The other is invisible while a competitor owns the conversation.

    Your rank isn't a number. It's a map. (49 points prove it.)
