We count the brands they name
For each tool, a brand’s score is the share of answers that name it. The five scores are averaged, so no single tool outweighs the rest.
We repeat every month
Same tools, same questions. If a question or a tool changes, we say so.

Can I pay to be on the leaderboard or rank higher?
No. The ranking comes only from what the AI tools answer. Nobody can pay to be added, moved, or removed.
