How we measured this

  • We asked ChatGPT 656 shopping questions about clippers & hot tools in July 2026. The questions never named a brand, so nothing here was prompted into the answer.
  • Questions were repeated. ChatGPT does not answer the same way twice, so a single ask tells you nothing — share of shelf is the pattern across all 656 of them.
  • We recorded every brand mentioned and every product offer shown, 3,636 offers across 100 brands.
  • This is one engine, one country, one point in time. It is a snapshot of a shelf that moves.
