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.

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.
“Lesser-known or smaller tools (e.g., Barley, Deel) may lack the depth required for enterprise-level analysis.” Mistral Small · Pay equity · negative prompt · hard negative
“Tools Lacking Enterprise Depth (e.g., smaller/low-cost options like Barley... flag them as "avoid for scale"” Grok 4.1 Fast · Pay equity · 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 Workleap Compensation. 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 38 of the 38 answers that named Workleap Compensation and are not a share of its labels.
