This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Podcorn yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

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.

“starting with self-serve or marketplace platforms (like AdvertiseCast or Podcorn)” Mistral Small · Audio advertising · negative prompt · first choice

“Want a host personally endorsing your product? → Podcorn (no minimum)” Kimi K2 · Audio advertising · budget prompt · alternative

“If you're a small brand targeting niche podcasts → Podcorn or Gumball” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Audio advertising · comparative prompt · alternative

“Closest to Free: Podcorn - No minimum spend required” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Audio advertising · budget 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.

“Generic "Blind Network" Ad Buys (e.g., Podcorn-style marketplaces, unverified networks) Risk level: High — no accountability” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Audio advertising · negative prompt · hard negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Podcorn. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 21 of the 22 answers that named Podcorn and are not a share of its labels.

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 Podcorn'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 Podcorn, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

where Podcorn is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name Podcorn, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
