How to read it

Each ball is a simulated buying scenario. Each row of pins is an AI model, pushing the ball toward the brand it picked.

One drop is one sample. Drop again and the pile shifts; the orange band shows where the balance lands in 95% of drops.

A leader is named only when the band clears the middle. The paths are simulated from the published per-judge shares: no model saw these scenarios.

How to read this

Each scenario offers the models both brands; the split is how often each is chosen. The headline is the panel consensus with equal model weights.
The band is the 95% interval for the left brand's share. A model leans to a brand only when its whole interval sits on one side of 50%.
95% confidence intervals (MOVER combination of the per-judge intervals, widened for small samples in battles and newer boards). The consensus gives equal weight to each model family. Per-judge results below are the primary measure.
A single model's view is one judge, not the consensus.
The drop machine is simulated: its paths reproduce the published per-model shares.
Need cuts are withheld below 30 scenarios.
Each page shows the latest edition. Dates are in the downloadable JSON.
Fast panel: the fast or small current models of each vendor, not the full flagship panel.

Who was counted

The rule that decides which judges count was fixed before the run. Judges that met it are counted with the weights below; the others are listed with their reasons.

59 buyer scenarios were planned.
None of them was left out.

Results computed but not published

Per-need scenario counts (n) are computed deterministically from the pre-registered plan.

Buyer need: Daily commute: n = 10 scenarios (fewer than 30) — Fewer scenarios than the pre-registered minimum
Buyer need: Driving fun: n = 11 scenarios (fewer than 30) — Fewer scenarios than the pre-registered minimum
Buyer need: Family: n = 13 scenarios (fewer than 30) — Fewer scenarios than the pre-registered minimum
Buyer need: Reliability: n = 14 scenarios (fewer than 30) — Fewer scenarios than the pre-registered minimum
Buyer need: Low running costs: n = 11 scenarios (fewer than 30) — Fewer scenarios than the pre-registered minimum

Methodology

Each judge is an AI model called through an API; “About this result” names each model and how it was called. In each buyer scenario, the judge chooses between the two brands. The scenario is the unit of analysis.

The results are based on 59 buyer scenarios.

A judge leans to a brand only when its confidence interval excludes 50%. Point estimates alone never count as a win.

Precision figures on this page are measured.
