Brooks appeared in every answer. But it wasn't everyone's first choice.

In Recoscope's November sixth running-shoes snapshot, Brooks appeared in all twelve usable answers. ASICS and Saucony each appeared in ten.

Then we isolated the comparative rankings.

ChatGPT and Claude put Brooks first. Gemini and Perplexity put ASICS first.

That's twelve out of twelve mentions for Brooks, but two out of four comparative first places.

For brand owners, those are different measures. Mention frequency shows how often a brand appears. Comparative rank shows where it lands in an explicit ranking.

Track both. These captured answers do not establish product quality.
