Key Insights
Key Takeaway
Purina Pro Plan appears in 11 of 12 captured responses and is the explicit first pick in all three available ranked comparison cells. ChatGPT P3 is unranked. Claude changed from Free to Pro, so this report is a current snapshot; displayed changes against September 10 must not be read as market movement. No human review recorded.
