02What they warned about

Eight of twelve models held their first choice under the paraphrase. Mistral Small, DeepSeek V4 Flash, Llama 4 Maverick and Kimi K2 changed. 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.

03What they cite

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list: four of the twelve in this edition, and all six flagship models on the expanded tier.

Sites the answers cite

18 of 72 answers in this category came back with a source list, from 4 of 12 models: citations where the model returns them, or the search results it consulted. 5 of those lists are Google grounding redirects that name no site and are left out of the counts. 186 links across 121 sites, every framing counted. Ranked by the number of answers carrying the site or page. The other 8 models searched through a gateway that returned no source list on this edition.

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 CRM for an enterprise B2B company?”Paraphrase“Which customer relationship management system would you recommend to a large B2B company with thousands of employees?”Comparative“What are the top enterprise-grade CRMs and how do they differ?”Budget-constrained“What is the best CRM for a large company that needs predictable total cost across thousands of users?”Scale-constrained“We are a 5,000 person company with SSO, SOC 2 and procurement review requirements evaluating a CRM. What should we look at?”Negative“Which CRMs should a large enterprise avoid or be cautious about?”
