Our Methodology

We analyzed 10,000 links from 1,500 ChatGPT searches across six C-suite personas—CISO, CIO/CTO, CMO, Chief Medical Officer, CFO, and Chief Data Officer. Persona-specific prompts were built using SparkToro insights and entered into custom GPTs that simulated each executive’s search behavior. Every cited link was extracted for analysis, offering a snapshot of which sources executives most often encounter through generative AI.
