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

Aptean Food & Beverage ERP leads on citation count and dominates on primacy, appearing first in 5 of 9 answers with an average position of 1.5, but its complete absence from Gemini shows the win is model-dependent, not universal.
