    How is this estimated?

    ChatGPT doesn't publish prompt data. We measure real demand for each commercial topic from Google search volume, scale it to ChatGPT's user base (about 1 ChatGPT user for every 8 Google searchers), and run each topic through ChatGPT 5 times to record which sites it recommends and in what order. A click-through-by-rank curve splits each topic's demand across the recommended sites. Every figure is a modeled estimate, not measured analytics. Full methodology →
