This project is in planning. This page describes the intended scope, not completed findings.
Proposed method
Compare cited domains across repeated prompts. Record whether live retrieval is available and distinguish observed citation patterns from claims about undisclosed internal selection mechanisms.
Results and limitations
Results, collection dates, and limitations will be published after the experiment has been conducted and reviewed.
