Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Start with HubSpot's free CRM + ChatGPT Plus for a solid foundation” Kimi K2 · AI marketing agents · budget prompt · first choice
“Start with general-purpose LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude) for content” Kimi K2 · AI marketing agents · negative prompt · first choice

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 58 of the 62 answers that named ChatGPT and are not a share of its labels.
Eighty of the eighty domain citations in answers naming ChatGPT came from somebody else's page.
Pages are listed as the models cited them.
Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read September 28, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.
An email the morning each edition publishes: where this product moved, where it held, and by how much against the noise floor. One address, confirmed by a click; a stop link in every email.

What ChatGPT's own pages state, read October 5, 2026: openai.com, openai.com/business/pricing, trust.openai.com, openai.com/solutions, openai.com/business/customer-stories. A claimed page can correct any of them.
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when ChatGPT's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as ChatGPT, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for ChatGPT by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
