Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for SuccessionStack 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

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.

“If succession planning is a strategic priority and you want best-in-class depth without enterprise complexity → SuccessionStack” Kimi K2 · Succession planning · direct prompt · first choice

“Engagedly, Lattice, Dayforce, or SuccessionStack strike the best balance of functionality, usability, and pricing” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Succession planning · direct prompt · first choice

“if you want succession as the entire product, choose a dedicated tool (SuccessionStack, TalentGuard, SuccessionNow)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Succession planning · comparative prompt · alternative

“For a truly limited budget with \u226420 employees: Start with SuccessionStack\u2019s free templates” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Succession planning · budget 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 SuccessionStack. 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 24 of the 25 answers that named SuccessionStack and are not a share of its labels.

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

where SuccessionStack 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 SuccessionStack, 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 successionstack.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.
