How these numbers are made
Every scan asks all 7 engines 60 questions written the way buyers ask them, and classifies each answer for who was mentioned, recommended, and cited as a source. Each rate in a scan carries a 95% confidence interval; the aggregates here are medians across scans, so no single market dominates. The full method, including its limits, is at saymetry.com/methodology. The dataset is small and young; it says so rather than pretending otherwise, and the figures firm up as it grows.
