How this is made

Built from what 5 AI models (Google-ai-mode · Claude · Gemini · ChatGPT · Perplexity) 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.

So which brand?

Breadth vs focus — and the right answer depends on the shelf.
