What this does and does not show.
- Counted from Claude’s 15 usable answers of 15 planned.
- Products level on share of answers and average position share a rank: the measurement shows no difference between them.
- Counted as one product under reviewed spellings: “CyberGhost VPN” as CyberGhost; “Private Internet Access (PIA)” as Private Internet Access; “Proton VPN for Business” as Proton VPN.
- AI answers vary from run to run and with each person’s history and settings. This is what Claude answered on 9 October 2026, asked fresh each time, not what every user will see.
- One engine and one month. Another engine, or next month, can name different products.
