02 · The results
Three tools, one reference set
Recorded pooled recall: Writfind 73.7%–85.5%; Gemini Deep Research 48.7%; ChatGPT Deep Research 42.1%–43.4%. These are observed result ranges, not confidence intervals. The records cover 3 graded Writfind report versions; each Deep Research report was generated once. The table and charts show the latest published comparison.
The reference pool contains 76 adjudicated matters across 3 companies, found by at least one tool. Matters missed by all three tools are outside the pool. These cases do not establish performance on other companies.
