Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Pilot yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

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.

“Pilot AI Accountant – Best for Full-Cycle Bookkeeping” Kimi K2 · AI accounting assistants · paraphrase prompt · alternative

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.

“Rather than expensive, fully-managed AI platforms (like Zeni or Pilot, which cost $500+/month)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · AI accounting assistants · budget prompt · soft negative

“Managed AI+human services (Pilot, Zeni, Bench) — you'd be outsourcing your books” DeepSeek V4 Flash · AI accounting assistants · scale prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

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

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 16 of the 21 answers that named Pilot and are not a share of its labels.

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 Pilot'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 Pilot, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at pilotia.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
