Inside the 11-point floor: within noise.2% → 0%The floor is 11 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.

Five of fourteen models held their first choice under the paraphrase. Claude Haiku 4.5, Perplexity Sonar, Mistral Small, DeepSeek V4 Flash, Llama 4 Maverick, Qwen 3.7 Flash, GLM 4.7 FlashX, GPT-6 Luna and Muse Glimmer 30B changed. A high negative share on a product with few labels is a warning. A low share on a product with many labels is salience, not sentiment.
Datadog26%
16 of 62 labels negative · 10 of 14 models · 1 hard negative
“Avoid Datadog unless you have enterprise budgets and teams — it's overkill-priced for most mid-market B2B operations.” DeepSeek V4 Flash, direct prompt
Nagios57%
16 of 28 labels negative · 9 of 14 models · 3 hard negative
“Avoid or migrate away from these if running cloud-native, containerized, or rapidly scaling infrastructure.” Gemini 3.5 Flash, negative prompt
Zabbix25%
13 of 53 labels negative · 8 of 14 models
“Zabbix, Nagios, and comparable systems can be effective, but their technical and staffing costs may outweigh free or low license pricing as environments grow.” Perplexity Sonar, negative prompt

10 of 43 labels negative · 7 of 14 models · 1 hard negative
“Avoid for mid-size: Enterprise-heavy tools like Dynatrace ... often overkill/expensive” Grok 4.20, paraphrase prompt
What they cite
Fourteen of the fourteen models returned a source list in this edition: five return the pages they cited and nine the search results they consulted.
Sites the answers cite
69 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. 690 links across 180 sites, every framing counted. Ranked by the number of answers carrying the site or page. 26 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.

Search against answers
Each company's standing in the answers beside its site's footprint in Google search, one row a site: the products the models named on it with their shares, and the share they add up to; monthly searches on Google, and DataForSEO's estimate of AI search demand (modeled from search signals, directional, not a count of queries to any assistant), for the most-searched of the company's and its products' names (the name is in each row's hover text); estimated monthly organic visits to the site; and its best position in Google's top ten for “best infrastructure monitoring tool”, “infrastructure monitoring tool”, “infrastructure monitoring tools”. US estimates from DataForSEO and Google's Ads Transparency Center. A small company's site, or a mid-sized company's site for its flagship, is marked company; a product on a large parent's site (Google, Microsoft) has no site figures. A column with no figures for this category is left out, and an empty cell means none were seen, not none exist. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.
