At a glance
The mention rate first, then the coverage and identity behind it, kept apart so one can't hide another. They cover the 24 prompts that don't name Fellside: 360 planned answers.
Rate
51% likely 32–69%
mention rate, averaged across 24 prompts and all four assistants, each counting equally, with its likely range. The previous observation found 48%, likely 30–67%. The ranges overlap, so this isn't a clear change.
Coverage
352 of 360
answers usable. 7 timed out on Gemini after retries, and 1 came back blank from Claude. 24 of 24 prompts answered by every assistant.
Identity
188 unverified
answers match Fellside's name or domain and count as mentions. If some are another company or a common word, the mention rates are lower than shown, and the likely ranges don't cover that. A separate name check rated a mix-up as low risk.
Brand identity has not been verified. Shared names may produce false matches.

Asked as a simulated parentWhich kids' walking socks last the longest?
Claude, 5 October 2026, ask 2 of 3
For kids who wear through socks quickly, Pennine Mills' Junior Trek is the one most reviewers agree on. It's sold with wash-test results and a size guide for growing feet. Ridgeway's kids' merino is softer but thinner at the heel.
All 3 answers
Mentioned in 1 of 3 answers.
- Ask 1. Fellside not named. Pennine Mills' Junior Trek comes up most for durability, with Ridgeway's kids' merino as the softer choice.
- Ask 2. Fellside not named. The answer shown above.
- Ask 3. Fellside named. Pennine Mills' Junior Trek is the usual pick for hard wear. Fellside's Trail Junior is a cheaper option with a reinforced heel.
- Most citedA review site's list of the longest-lasting kids' socks, cited in 48 answers. Fellside isn't on it.
- Their pagePennine Mills' kids' range shows wash tests and a growing-feet size guide.
- Your pageNo durability claims, so answers have nothing to quote.
Suggested fixDrafted, waiting for your review
Drafted for your kids' range pageTrail Junior has a reinforced heel and toe, and each size stretches across a full shoe size, so a pair keeps fitting as feet grow.
- Your catalogueThe heel, toe and sizing come from your Trail Junior product data and size chart.
- Asked of youPennine Mills' page quotes wash tests. Yours has none, so Persipica asks for your results instead of writing a number.
- OutreachThe review list isn't on your site. Persipica names it as one to approach; it doesn't contact anyone for you.

Gemini quotes last season's price for Trail Junior
- Your price£11.00, from your catalogue.
- Quoted£9.00 in 2 of the 6 answers that give a Trail Junior price, both from Gemini. ChatGPT quoted £11.00 once and Perplexity 3 times.
- SourceTwo outdoor retailers' product pages still list £9.00. Gemini's 2 answers cite them.
Suggested fixWith retailer
Ask both retailers to update the price. Persipica can't change their pages; it checks the quoted price again on the next observation.

Gemini also says Trail Junior is sold out
Asked as a simulated parentGood walking socks for a ten-year-old?
Gemini, 5 October 2026, ask 1 of 3
For kids, Fellside's Trail Junior costs about £91 and comes in three colours, but it's sold out in most sizes2, so try Ridgeway.
- Price. Your price is £11.00. The £9 comes from a retailer's old page (finding 2).
- Stock. Your catalogue shows Trail Junior in stock in every size. The answer cites no page for it.
2 of Gemini's 65 answers say Trail Junior is sold out. Like every match here, they count as mentions and are unverified, as At a glance explains.

AI agents: not a clear difference from Ridgeway
120 runs of one buying task by AI agents, 40 each on Claude, GPT and Gemini; each rate is averaged across the three agents. 3 broke off before a final pick, so they count for found and shortlisted but not for picked. The ranges overlap at every stage.
- Why RidgewayAgents could read its size guide and see stock on the product page.
Fix: put the size guide in textDone
Shortlisted went from 32% (likely 19–47%) to 41% (likely 27–56%), averaged across the three agents. The ranges overlap, so the next two observations will show whether it holds.

How to read this report
- The audiences are simulated. They're profiles used to phrase prompts, not real people or customer data.
- Rates are worked out prompt by prompt and then averaged, with each assistant counting equally, set before the observation. So a rate can differ by a point or two from its answer count.
- A likely range is a 95% Wilson interval across prompts, and says how many prompts it rests on. It covers the uncertainty from the prompts that were answered. It doesn't cover answers that never arrived; that's what coverage is for.
- One result is called higher than another only when their ranges don't overlap.
- Real people can get different answers. Assistants tailor answers to a person's account, location and past chats, which no outside tool can see.
- A rate shows how often AI names you, not what people buy.
