By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“The best SEC and disclosure reporting platform for a mid-market B2B company is DFIN, as it offers a sharper price and an SEC-only focus.” Llama 4 Maverick · Disclosure reporting · direct prompt · first choice

“I'd put DFIN ActiveDisclosure on the shortlist as the likely best value among established, full-featured platforms” GPT-6 Luna · Disclosure reporting · budget prompt · first choice

“I'd lean toward DFIN ActiveDisclosure as the best balance of functionality, price, and specialized SEC expertise” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Disclosure reporting · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“start by requesting a pilot from CERTENT or DFIN. They are positioned specifically for the mid-market” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Disclosure reporting · scale prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Proceed with caution if you plan to do extensive, fast-paced table updates directly in the tool or manage complex, in-house XBRL tagging.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Disclosure reporting · negative prompt · soft negative

“Even leading platforms like Workiva and ActiveDisclosure have specific limitations you should understand before implementation.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Disclosure reporting · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named DFIN ActiveDisclosure. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 182 of the 185 answers that named DFIN ActiveDisclosure and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page dfinsolutions.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. Of its titles that name a category, most name virtual data rooms (28); 0 name the category the models place it in. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read October 5, 2026.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when DFIN ActiveDisclosure's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as DFIN ActiveDisclosure, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for DFIN ActiveDisclosure by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where DFIN ActiveDisclosure is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name DFIN ActiveDisclosure, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.

Badges

Wins only: a badge exists where DFIN ActiveDisclosure is ranked in a category's top three this edition. Three sizes, one file each, light and dark; the code is under each.

ShowHide

DFIN ActiveDisclosure is among the products AI models recommend first in SEC and disclosure reporting this edition. Each badge says so in the buyer's words, names the edition, and links to the standing. The next edition issues a new badge; this one stays true as a record of October 2026.
