Australian super funds: who does AI actually recommend?

Every fortnight we ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and DeepSeek the same 12 buying questions, up to 72 answers a round. There is no page 2 in AI search. This measures which brands AI puts into the buyer's consideration set, and which ones it leaves out.
