By framing
What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Best for: Large, structured enterprise channel organizations needing full-funnel automation ... Enterprise reseller/channel program with a big budget? → Impartner or ZINFI” DeepSeek V4 Flash · PRM · comparative prompt · first choice
“Forrester's evaluations consistently place Zift (Unifyr), ZINFI, and Impartner at the top” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Channel marketing · comparative prompt · first choice

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.

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 Impartner'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 Impartner, 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 impartner.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.
