Contested. The models agree on the broad strokes but diverge on specifics. **[beat_04c_per_model_void] Host:** Per-model void comparison. ChatGPT uniquely missed answer, ballot, costs. Gemini uniquely missed also, answer, ballot. DeepSeek uniquely missed aside, this, position. Grok uniquely missed lead, also, answer. **[beat_05_friction_map] Host:** The friction map.
