How this was measured

Ranked by how many of the four tracked AI models named each franchise in their answer to this exact question, then by the average position each gave it. Bowstone asks this question of Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini and Perplexity every week and records every entity named. The question asks for five, so the list is short by design. This is a measure of what the models say, not an independent valuation.
