By framing
What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Signal remains the best secure messaging app in 2026 for most people because default end-to-end encryption, open-source review, low data collection” Claude Haiku 4.5 · In-app messaging · negative prompt · first choice
“Prioritize apps with default E2EE (e.g., Signal tops most privacy scores, collects minimal data)” Grok 4.1 Fast · In-app messaging · negative prompt · first choice
“Signal - Best overall privacy, E2EE for everything, minimal data collection” Mistral Small · In-app messaging · negative prompt · first choice
“Signal - Gold standard, E2E encrypted by default, open source” GLM 4.7 FlashX · In-app messaging · negative 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.
“as a standalone, legacy client-side tag manager, it is functionally obsolete and no longer supported in its original form” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Tag management · negative prompt · hard negative
“Failed to sustain its identity as a tag manager, and the name/technology was absorbed or decommissioned” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Tag management · negative prompt · hard negative

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 Signal'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 Signal, 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 signalgenesys.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.
