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 13 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.
“is a strong option for mid-market US companies, combining automated payroll compliance with their SmartCompliance module” Claude Haiku 4.5 · HR compliance · direct prompt · alternative
“Large enterprise with complex payroll? → ADP SmartCompliance” Kimi K2 · HR compliance · comparative prompt · alternative
“Best for enterprise and payroll-adjacent compliance at scale.” Muse Glimmer 30B · HR compliance · comparative 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.
No model argued against it.

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 ADP SmartCompliance. 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 16 of the 16 answers that named ADP SmartCompliance and are not a share of its labels.
