# The leader changed in twenty-three of fifty-eight categories since October 2026

Gane Index, November 2026 Edition. Page: https://www.gane.ai/index/hr/research/movement

Between the October 2026 Edition and the November 2026 Edition the leader changed in twenty-three of fifty-eight categories, five of them by more than the noise floor of 13 points. Thirty-two of 623 changes in first-choice share clear the floor. Both editions asked the same fourteen models. A change smaller than the floor is reported as within noise: asked twice with nothing changed, the models move a leader's share by that much on their own, so a smaller change between editions cannot be told from the instrument.
