The floor is 10 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 can't be told apart from repeat variation, and both are shown. Each index measures its own floor from its own repeat, over its own categories, so the floor differs from one index to the next. Both editions asked the same fourteen models. How the floor is measured
Every product with at least 10 labels here, on both axes. The 30% line names a quadrant, not the verdict above: that one needs more than 40%.
“Spreadsheets (e.g., Excel or Google Sheets) ... Why avoid or be cautious? They're the most commonly cited pitfall for fixed asset tracking.” Grok 4.20, negative prompt
“Avoid: Enterprise tools like NetSuite or Odoo unless you're scaling rapidly—they're overkill and pricier.” Grok 4.20, direct prompt
“Most small businesses start with Excel or Google Sheets for fixed asset tracking. The approach works initially—until it doesn't.” Muse Glimmer 30B, negative prompt
“Tools to avoid: SAP Fixed Asset Accounting, Oracle EAM, NetSuite Fixed Assets, IBM Maximo, and Bloomberg Tax Fixed Assets” DeepSeek V4 Flash, negative prompt
71 of 84 answers in this category came back with a source list, from 14 of 14 models: citations where the model returns them, or the search results it consulted. 747 links across 120 sites, every framing counted. Ranked by the number of answers carrying the site or page. 46 of the 252 answers across every segment cited this index's own page for the category; the method page measures whether that reading tilts an answer.
The ten pages named in the most answers, by full address. A page here is one the models returned with a recommendation, not one the index endorses.
