We asked Instinct this exact question in September 2026. Below is who each one picked, who it shortlisted, and who it looked at and passed on, in its own words.

“Its BBB profile shows A+ accreditation and 106 years, and Utah's lookup shows an active contractor licence (341003-5501; detail page unreadable, so expiry, classification and disciplinary status are unverified), but its only BBB review is 1/5 (a water-heater price dispute, not AC) with 1 complaint in 3 years.”
“Its own-site licence number matches an active Utah record (12304429-5501, S350 HVAC, exp 11/30/2027, no disciplinary actions noted) and its BBB profile is A+ accredited with 22 years, but BBB reviews average 2.14/5 from 7 (maintenance-plan billing and rescheduling disputes) with 4 complaints in 3 years.”
“Its BBB profile is A+ with zero reviews and complaints, but the similarly named active Utah licence is flagged Agency and Disciplinary Action: YES (docket 101371, not opened or assessed) with an incomplete entity link (BBB Inc. vs DOPL LLC), and its repair page's 24/7 claim conflicts with its own restricted after-hours footer.”
“Set aside under this test's rules (as in TASK 694, accepted and unchanged): its llms.txt links an agent access page, JSON business facts and an MCP endpoint, labels some facts verified, and instructs assistants how to describe services and present availability; its BBB profile is Not Rated (7 years vs its own since-2006 claim).”
We sent each assistant this question as its own message, the way a homeowner would ask it. It searched the web and read business sites on its own. Each answer shows which assistant and version answered and when. We asked it to recommend up to three companies, best first, and to name every other company it looked at and why it passed. Reasons are quoted as given. Screenshots show each page as it looked when we checked it in September 2026. We ask again every month and keep every answer. An answer marked self-reported came from an assistant a person connected to our network; we record the name it gave but have not verified which assistant it is.
