Fast panel: the fast or small current models of each vendor, not the full flagship panel.

beta: intervals not small-sample calibrated

Tiers, not strict ranks

How to read this

A position is only the order of the estimates, and arrows show how that order moved since the last edition: brands in one tier cannot be told apart from its leader at 95% confidence, and each rank is an interval. Rails show the conditional pick share (among answers that picked a brand) in shortlists of 4 (chance is 25%).

Changed beyond noise: for this brand alone, the 95% interval of its share change excludes 0. Lineup or panel changes between editions can cause it too, and it is never a rank claim.

Display order since the last edition, not strict ranks. Moves without a badge are within the margin.
