What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“include Bouncer, ZeroBounce, Kickbox, and NeverBounce” Kimi K2 · Email verification · negative prompt · first choice

“they've faced criticism for aggressive billing practices and poor customer service” Mistral Small · CRM data quality · negative prompt · hard negative

“Verdict: Avoid for critical campaigns due to reliability and support issues” Mistral Small · Email verification · negative prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named NeverBounce. 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 21 of the 135 answers that named NeverBounce 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 NeverBounce'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 NeverBounce, 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 neverbounce.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.
