The New York board, explained

How short is the New York list, really?

The July 2026 answer is 22. We verified 75 companies around New York and ran 4 checks; 29% of the cohort ever got a mention.

Who does ChatGPT name first in New York?

In the July 2026 measurement, Figlia & Sons Inc — it came up in every one of the 4 checks, more than any other company including Arista. Frequency of naming is the entire ranking.

What questions were behind the New York checks?

Real homeowner phrasings, asked verbatim — one example: "My air conditioner stopped working in New York, New York. Which company should I call?". Each answer's named companies were tallied, and that tally is the ranking.

Do companies pay you to be ranked here?

They can't. Measured, never sold is the standing rule: being named by ChatGPT in our checks is the only path onto the board. Money cannot buy a place on this list.

Why isn't my company on the New York list?

It means ChatGPT never named it in our July 2026 checks — nothing more. That says nothing about the quality of the work, only that homeowners who ask AI are being sent elsewhere. Most companies haven't shown up in AI answers yet.
