Source: Teardown 05: accounting software. Each teardown runs 100 buyer questions (category, head-to-head, alternatives and advice phrasing) through ChatGPT with web search on, logged out, United States, English, one run per question, and codes every brand mention as recommended, listed, passing or anchor using the published codebook.

"Appeared" counts answers where the brand was recommended or listed. "Recommended" means the answer endorsed it for at least one use. Use-case labels are quoted from the answers as written. Google checks use the top ten organic results for the same question collected the same day.

Limits: one run per question, one country, one point in time. AI answers vary between runs, so treat these as frequencies for this sample, not fixed positions.
