How this ranking is measured580 queries · 4 models · updated this weekPreview data

This is the public record for best coffee shops in seattle: the same questions, every model, every week. We ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity the real questions buyers ask in this category — 580 of them this period — and record which brands each model recommends and in what order. Scores are the share and prominence of those recommendations on a 0–100 scale.

Each model is ranked independently, so the columns disagree when the models disagree. The consensus rank is the blended position across all 4 models. Movement compares against last week.

We report what the models say. We don’t editorialize, and brands can’t pay to change their position.

During the preview period, the rankings shown are simulated sample data while our measurement pipeline comes online. The format, scoring, and methodology are final — the numbers become live once the crawl begins.
