Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Lattice yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Lattice across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

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.

“Choose Lattice if you are a fast-growing company (Seed to Series C/D) that wants to manage reviews, promotions, and salary adjustments in one easy-to-use place.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Performance management · comparative prompt · first choice

“Lattice: Best Overall for Balanced Performance & Goal Alignment... widely considered the gold-standard platform for mid-market, tech-forward B2B companies” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Performance management · direct prompt · first choice

“Best Dedicated People Analytics Platform ... Lattice is widely considered one of the most accessible people ops platforms for growing companies.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · People analytics · budget prompt · first choice

“Best For: Comprehensive performance management combined with 360s.... Lattice ensures the feedback actually impacts future goal-setting.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · 360 feedback · comparative 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.

“you do not need a separate onboarding tool like Personio or Lattice just to collect paperwork” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Employee onboarding · negative prompt · hard negative

“Lattice carries a $4,000 annual minimum ... Avoid these if your budget is tight.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · 360 feedback · budget prompt · hard negative

“Watch Out For: Minimum seat requirements (e.g., Lattice requires $4,000/year minimum)” Kimi K2 · Performance management · budget prompt · hard negative

“Steep learning curve - frequently cited as confusing for initial tasks ... Expensive - minimum $4,000 annual agreement” Kimi K2 · Performance management · negative prompt · soft 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 Lattice. 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 557 of the 672 answers that named Lattice and are not a share of its labels.

Names read as Lattice

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

Follow Lattice

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.

Already following? Everything you follow, with a stop for each.

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 Lattice'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 Lattice, 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 Lattice by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Lattice 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 Lattice, 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 lattice.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.

Badges

Wins only: a badge exists where Lattice is ranked in a category's top three this edition. Three sizes, one file each, light and dark; the code is under each.
