These are the questions a buyer asks. They are not prompts collected from real ChatGPT users. The ranking is the result of this public set of 20 questions, not of every way people look for a CRM.
A brand earns points each time an engine recommends it, more when it is named first: 1st 1.0, 2nd 0.8, 3rd 0.6, 4th and 5th 0.5, later 0.3. The score is the average over all answers of the complete rounds, out of 100. An answer that names no brand counts as zero for every brand.
