The Sorting Funnel: From 190 to 27
This is where the slop gets sorted. 190 raw entries from 19 AI models were reduced through deduplication (merging entries like "La Nova" and "La Nova Pizzeria") to 27 distinct AI Meeting Assistants & Recorders. 17 were recommended by multiple AIs — that is the signal. The remaining 10 were single-AI picks, which are penalized in scoring.
