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

Manhattan Associates and Fishbowl are tied on raw mention count at 7 of 9, but Fishbowl's average position of 3.3 versus Manhattan Associates' 4 means Fishbowl is actually surfacing higher in the recommendation stack. The breadth problem here is real: 31 brands splitting 9 answers dilutes any single brand's dominance, and Körber's complete absence despite a category rank of 6 signals a meaningful gap between category standing and AI visibility.
