By framing
What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Start with established players like AlphaSense, Euromonitor (Passport), or CB Insights that have institutional validation” Kimi K2 · Market intelligence · negative prompt · first choice
“CB Insights is the strongest overall pick for B2B market research services” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Market intelligence · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Strongest for technology and venture-oriented market intelligence.” GPT-5.4 mini · Market intelligence · comparative prompt · first choice
“If you are planning your next 3–5 year product roadmap: Start with CB Insights or Quid.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Competitive intel · comparative 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.
“CB Insights and PitchBook can be useful for funding, investors, and M&A, but they are not end-to-end competitive and market intelligence monitoring platforms.” Perplexity Sonar · Market intelligence · negative prompt · soft negative
“CB Insights is overkill for most go-to-market teams. You are paying analyst-research prices for data you may only use to build a target list.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Market intelligence · negative prompt · soft negative
“AlphaSense, CB Insights, and similar tools ... are usually overkill if you only need tactical competitor monitoring” Perplexity Sonar · Competitive intel · negative prompt · soft negative
“although it may have a clunky search interface and a price aimed at well-funded teams” Llama 4 Maverick · Market intelligence · paraphrase prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page cbinsights.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 ABM (18); 0 name its categories 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.

- who was chosen in the answers that did not name CB Insights, and every reason the record gives;
