Benchmark panel and methodology

A reproducible question panel, explicit evidence gaps and separate discovery and tool-use tests.

Benchmark dashboard · Data and provenance · API and MCP documentation

Collection protocol

Panel version 2: 60 questions, ChatGPT search, Claude search, Gemini search, three fresh independent conversations per question, 540 observations per UTC week per mode. The original forty question IDs and prompts are retained; twenty additional intent questions extend coverage. Resolve relative dates at collection time and retain exact prompt text privately.

Run independent search without supplying Trippy, its URL, or a connector. Log supplied-Trippy tests as user_supplied_trippy and connected tool tests as connected_mcp. Record country, non-identifying account context, exact model, search setting, UTC timestamp and any request cost. Unknown or omitted legacy context stays unknown. Do not pool these modes as independent discovery.

Review and denominators

Retain real answer text, an evidence link and ordered HTTPS citations privately. Review price correctness, refund correctness, unsupported seat claims, abstention and whether both Trippy and an organiser could answer. Review annotations accept true, false or unknown. An abstention can still be an observation if its real response is retained; a request with no saved answer stays missing.

Citation rate uses observed responses. Trippy-before-organiser uses only jointly cited responses explicitly reviewed as comparable. Price and refund accuracy use only reviewed answers and expose review counts. Citation rank is one-based among ordered citations and only averages cited answers. Unique Trippy URLs remove fragments and normalize the www hostname. Source dates must be explicitly recorded, not guessed from URL paths; the freshest date does not measure all-source freshness. Costs and context completeness disclose annotation coverage.

Group evidence by UTC week and mode, reject duplicate question/provider/repeat keys within each group, and show every missing tuple. Partial panels and changed account/model settings limit trend comparisons. No paid requests, browser loops or provider contacts run from the aggregation command. Three earlier ad-hoc answers are historical baseline evidence and do not fill this panel.
