# Asked the same question twice, the models moved their own first choice 67% of the time. The leader still held in 27 of 30 readings (10 categories at three buyer sizes).

Finance AI Recommendation Index, October 2026 Edition. Page: https://finance-ai-index.com/research/repeat-measurement/

Ten categories were asked again three days after the edition run, with nothing changed: the same prompts, the same model versions, the same settings, one buyer segment, six framings, fourteen models, 840 answers. Whatever differs between the two runs is noise, and the noise is what this page measures. That is the reason the index asks every question six ways of every model rather than once: on its own, one ask moved 67% of the time; eighty-four, read together, are what the index reports.
