Eleven different businesses were named. Not one was named by all three assistants. * Divorce law: **"best divorce lawyer in Des Moines for a high-asset divorce"**. Nine different firms came up. No firm appeared in all three answers. * Real estate: **"who is the best real estate agent in Des Moines for first-time buyers?"**. Ten agents were named across the answers. None was named by all three assistants. * Wealth: **"best wealth management firm in Des Moines for a family with $5 million"**. Fifteen firms were named. None made all three lists, so a buyer's pick depends on the tool. Across 36 answers, 110 businesses were named. Seventy of them, 64%, were named by only one assistant.
