An early DACH contribution on the mechanics: fan-out, the switch to English, product searches as a separate layer, session variance, the bookmarklet as a tool.
Three of the four key claims are confirmed against our data three quarters of a year later; the Bing claim is outdated. Konitzny works with the same type of tool as GPTSpy and is the nearest partner for cross-checks in the DACH region.
| Claim | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| German prompts are researched internally in English and translated | confirmed | English fan-outs at K6-01, K11-01; mixed at K2-01 (2026-08-22). Not throughout: local and news stay German. |
| A hidden layer of product searches | confirmed | product|... lines at K2, K3, K7, in addition to the fast/slow search. |
| Queries vary per session | confirmed | Fan-out wording different on every measurement day, count +/-1. |
| Web search is Bing-based | outdated | Since June 2026 an own index plus Google scrapes (Mohanadasan, Segonzac); Bing only cohort-wise. |
