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.

“my default recommendation would be DocuSign” GPT-5.4 mini · CLM · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“Industry-standard e-signing + basic management ... but transaction caps, higher costs for volume” Grok 4.1 Fast · CLM · paraphrase prompt · alternative

“as do established platforms like DocuSign, HelloSign, and GetAccept” Mistral Small · Proposals · negative prompt · alternative

“DocuSign eSignature for signing (market leader with 70% market share)” GLM 4.7 FlashX · CLM · 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.

“Avoid DocuSign unless you specifically need their 900+ integrations or AI features—just watch those envelope limits closely.” MiniMax M2.5 · CLM · paraphrase prompt · soft negative

“it is less suited for *management*... The Trap: The standard plan caps you at 100 "envelopes" per year” Qwen 3.7 Flash · CLM · paraphrase prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named DocuSign. 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 4 of the 47 answers that named DocuSign 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 DocuSign'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 DocuSign, 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 docusign.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.
