Microsoft Teams was named by thirteen of the fourteen models and Microsoft SharePoint by fourteen and Microsoft Teams carries 14 labels and Microsoft SharePoint 38, so the shares are not directly comparable.

Share is the count of first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts over all fourteen models, for a mid-market B2B company; rank is within the category; every quote names the model and the prompt it came from. Both figures come from the internal communications and intranet page.
