ChatGPT answered 3× this snapshot

Verbatim excerpt from one collected ChatGPT answer; formatting flattened, words untouched.

Metabase and Looker both achieved perfect mention rates across all 9 answers, but Metabase wins on primacy, earning the first recommendation slot 3 times versus zero for Looker. That lead position advantage matters because first-listed tools capture disproportionate buyer attention when procurement teams scan AI-generated shortlists.
