02What they warned about

A high negative share on a product with few labels is a warning. A low share on a product with many labels is salience, not sentiment.

Sites the answers cite

20 of 72 answers in this category came back with a source list, from 4 of 6 models: citations where the model returns them, or the search results it consulted. 6 of those lists are Google grounding redirects that name no site and are left out of the counts. 201 links across 101 sites, every framing counted. Ranked by the number of answers carrying the site or page. The other 2 models searched through a gateway that returned no source list on this edition.

Pages the answers cite

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.

04How they answered

Six framings of the same buying question, each sent to every model in a fresh session with search on. One row per model, so a row shows whether it held its answer under rewording, what it named when cost was the constraint, and what it argued against. Computed from the raw judge labels.
ModelDirect“What is the best website experimentation and personalization platform for a mid-market B2B company?”Paraphrase“Which A/B testing and personalization tool would you recommend to a mid-sized B2B company?”Comparative“What are the top experimentation and personalization platforms and how do they differ?”Budget-constrained“What is the best website experimentation and personalization platform for a company with a limited budget?”Scale-constrained“We are a 500 person company evaluating a website experimentation and personalization platform.
