The Answer Index

A public index of observed answers.

Each entry will include its category, observation date, question set and sample size so readers can inspect how it was produced.

Coming soon

There are no published index observations yet. No businesses or scores are shown until real, dated runs are ready to publish.

What an entry will contain

Each published entry will name the category, the exact question set, the panel of models that answered and the dates the runs were collected. Beside the observation it will print the count behind it, so a reader can check the arithmetic without asking us for a spreadsheet.

  • The observation window, with the first and last run date.
  • The number of answers collected and how many named each business.
  • Every source the models cited, with its check status at collection time.

An index is only useful if it can be audited. When there is not enough evidence to publish an entry, we publish nothing rather than fill the page with an estimate.
