35% of first choices, contested.
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%.
“criticized for complex and unintuitive interfaces, unexpected fees, unreliable credit card syncing, and poor customer support” Mistral Small, negative prompt
“Cautions: Slow OCR, rigid workflows, and approver experience issues are common in larger enterprise rollouts.” Muse Glimmer 30B, negative prompt
“**BILL/Divvy** (bugs and support)” DeepSeek V4 Flash, negative prompt
“Brex (Avoid if you are a bootstrapped or traditional small business)” Gemini 3.5 Flash, negative prompt
77 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. 1016 links across 184 sites, every framing counted. Ranked by the number of answers carrying the site or page. None of the 252 answers across every segment cited this index's own page for the category.
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.
