How this was made

Each question was sent once to each assistant, with no company named in the question. From memory: Claude Haiku and GPT-4o mini, through their APIs with no web search and no tools — each answers from what it learned in training. Searching the web: Claude Haiku + web search, through the API with one web search allowed per answer (results from India) — it reads pages found that day, as the ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity apps can. We read the names each answer lists, in order (MONEY-7 reader), and count a tool from our directory as named when the answer names it. Answers change from day to day; this is one dated run. The full method and all 30 categories.
