The main differences
One answer vs a likelihood.
AI answers vary from one ask to the next. We repeat and pool answers over time, so an area reads “named in about 6 in 10 answers” rather than “yes” or “no”.
Engines.
We include Perplexity and Claude. Local Falcon includes Grok.
Why, not just where.
We show the directories, press and threads each engine relies on, and turn gaps into tasks.
