Cited by AI answer engines.

In the week of Oct 25, 2026, b/cited asked ChatGPT (gpt-4.1-mini), Claude (claude-sonnet-4-6) and Perplexity (sonar) 5 e-commerce platforms buying questions and recorded which sites each answer cited. 15 of 15 prompt-and-engine pairs completed.

This is engine output, not a scanner score. A citation is not a recommendation or an endorsement, and the prompts are a sample, not a census. Counts are out of the prompts each engine actually answered that week.
