Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“CRM-native engagement (Salesforce Sales Engagement, HubSpot, Dynamics 365) — one database, no sync lag, single source of truth” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Sales engagement · scale 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.

What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Salesforce Sales Engagement. 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 45 of the 46 answers that named Salesforce Sales Engagement and are not a share of its labels.
