Skeptical Researcher

Compare recommendation patterns for Skeptical Researcher across four channels side by side: pick a model for LLM and Fanout, toggle Google/Bing for Organic. AI Search has no model choice (it's Google's own AI Overview, a single source, not a multi-model API) and no rank field, so it's shown as a plain citation count rather than a rank-weighted score like the other three.

The two boxes below the four channel charts offer several views of the same data; use the tabs to switch charts. Every view derives from the four charts' data directly, normalized 0-100 within each channel, and updates with the same dropdowns.

For Skeptical Researcher, domains ranked by percentile rank within each channel (100 = top domain in that channel, 0 = present but ranked last, a dash = never appeared in that channel's results at all). Over-performers (left) rank far better in Pure LLM than they do on average across Fanout, Google AI Overview, and Organic Google. Under-performers (right) are the mirror case: domains that do well across Fanout, Google AI Overview, and Organic Google but rank poorly, or don't appear at all, in Pure LLM.
