How this is made

Built from what 4 AI models (Perplexity · ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini) recommend across the catalog, layered with company reviewer takes, press coverage, marketing-honesty checks and price positioning. The short answer and verdict are derived from where those signals diverge — not written by hand for either brand.
