10 questions written from the buyer's side, with a real constraint in each. nClouds' name never appears in them.
Each question ran with web search off, from memory, and on, where ChatGPT reads the web first.
Every question ran three times in a clean temporary chat on a paid test account with memory off, so one lucky answer can't skew it.
