How we checked

We checked one recent release on each brand's own site, plus its robots.txt, llms.txt, sitemaps, RSS and public product pages, in September 2026. Only ✓ counts as passed: ◐ and ? count as not passed.

We built this list from what AI needs to find, read and quote a release. And yes, we built LivePublicator to pass it.

This test was run by LivePublicator.
