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

Ellucian Banner is winning this question: named in 7 of 9 answers, first recommendation 6 times, and averaging position 1.6, it dominates the feature-led framing despite Workday Student appearing more often overall. Workday Student's near-universal mention but zero first-place finishes and average position of 3.5 signals AI models treat it as a credible option, not the default answer.
