What it means for accounting firms in McKinney
A buyer who asks an assistant for a recommendation gets a short list of names. Across all 192 answers, the five firms above took 168 of the 771 recommendations; the other 190 named firms shared the remaining 603.
The assistants also disagree. 167 of the 195 firms were named by just one of them, so a firm that comes up in ChatGPT can be missing from Claude or Gemini. Checking one assistant tells you little about the rest.
