Methodology

The same traveler questions go to each AI on a fixed schedule, each in a fresh chat that ignores saved memories and searches the web as it normally would. A hotel counts once per answer when the AI recommends it; hotels it mentions only to rule out are left out. Change compares the period with the one before it; all time compares the more recent half of the runs with the earlier half. A recommendation shows what the AI said; it is not a rating of the hotel.
