08Method
Where these numbers come from
Source: Teardown 01: project management 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. High Salience has no commercial relationship with any brand on this page. If you work for this brand and see an error, write to info@highsalience.com and we will check it against the dataset.
Full per-answer datasets (CSV) are on each teardown page. All brand pages.
