A shortlist now comes back from an assistant instead of a page of search results, and the vendors on it have never been told where they sit. So we ask the buying question the way a real prospect asks it, across 44 phrasings, on 2 engines, and count every product named across all 88 answers. The method and the raw answers are published in full — you can check the number rather than take ours.
Free to read, raw data included. No vendor paid to be listed and no vendor can pay to move.
ats.connexion.me · 73 vendors named
helpdesk.connexion.me · 50 vendors named
Every claim on either board is reproducible from files published alongside it.
44 distinct phrasings of one purchase decision are written before anything is measured, and no vendor name appears in any of them. Each engine is called through its public API with a near-empty system prompt — “answer the user's question directly and concisely” — and is never asked to produce a list or rank anything. Steering it toward a list would manufacture the thing being measured. The vendor list is then discovered: a product is on the board if and only if an engine named it.
All 88 answers per category, verbatim, one JSON object per line, along with the extracted product names per answer and a machine-readable ranking. Linked at the bottom of each board. The measurement is automated end to end, which is why anyone can recompute it.
It measures what two answer engines said, on one date, in response to these questions, through their APIs. It is not a quality ranking, not a review, and not advice on what to buy. A product can be excellent and rank low — that gap is the entire point.
Both leaderboards are free and stay free — the ranking, the method, every raw answer. Nothing here goes behind a login later.
One thing is for sale: the diagnosis behind a single vendor's row — $199, one-off. When the engines did not name you, who did they name, on which phrasings, and which pages were they citing to do it? What is in the $199 report →
Two categories are live and more are being run. If you sell into a crowded B2B category and want to know where the answer engines put you, say which category and we will tell you when it is measured — or tell you it already is.
