By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Gloat is a leading *internal mobility* platform, especially for enterprise workforce agility and project matching.” Perplexity Sonar · Internal talent marketpl · comparative prompt · first choice

“Best overall for mid‑market B2B: Fuel50 ... or Gloat (mature gig/project marketplace)” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Internal talent marketpl · direct prompt · first choice

“If your priority is unlocking internal mobility → Gloat (pure-play) or suite-native options.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Internal talent marketpl · comparative prompt · first choice

“while Gloat provides the most mature pure marketplace experience if budget allows” Kimi K2 · Internal talent marketpl · direct 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.

“Gloat & Eightfold: Unless you have more than 2,000 employees... these enterprise solutions can result in low adoption and high implementation fatigue.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Internal talent marketpl · direct prompt · hard negative

“avoid these for now. They are expensive to purchase and require substantial, ongoing internal resources to manage effectively.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Internal talent marketpl · paraphrase prompt · hard negative

“Avoid pure enterprises like Gloat/Eightfold: High cost, complex setup, data-hungry AI underperforms at mid-scale.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Internal talent marketpl · paraphrase prompt · hard negative

“Watch out for enterprise vendors like Gloat... These are overkill and over budget for most small companies.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Internal talent marketpl · budget prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Gloat. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 217 of the 279 answers that named Gloat and are not a share of its labels.

Names read as Gloat

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Gloat; a claim can dispute any of them.

Phenom/Gloat 1

Follow Gloat

An email the morning each edition publishes: where this product moved, where it held, and by how much against the noise floor. One address, confirmed by a click; a stop link in every email.

Is this your product?

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 Gloat'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 Gloat, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

With a new claim: the vendor brief

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Gloat by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Gloat is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name Gloat, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.

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 gloat.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.
