The floor is 10 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison. How the floor is measured
Every product with at least 10 labels here, on both axes. The 30% line names a quadrant, not the verdict above: that one needs more than 40%.
“**Pulley is closing** - The platform announced it will cease operations on December 8, 2026 ... If you're considering Pulley, you'll want to evaluate Carta or other alternatives.” MiniMax M2.5, comparative prompt
“**Carta — Approach with Caution** ... Data misuse for secondary trading: Carta was caught using confidential customer cap table data to solicit secondary share sales” Kimi K2, negative prompt
“AngelList stopped taking new standalone cap table customers in 2026, so free AngelList is no longer an option for new companies.” Muse Glimmer 30B, budget prompt
“more appropriately sized than enterprise-first options like **Shareworks / Morgan Stanley at Work**... Choose **Shareworks** only if you are already at enterprise complexity” Perplexity Sonar, paraphrase prompt
78 of 84 answers in this category came back with a source list, from 14 of 14 models: citations where the model returns them, or the search results it consulted. 1039 links across 169 sites, every framing counted. Ranked by the number of answers carrying the site or page. 22 of the 252 answers across every segment cited this index's own page for the category; the method page measures whether that reading tilts an answer.
The ten pages named in the most answers, by full address. A page here is one the models returned with a recommendation, not one the index endorses.
