Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
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 is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“strongest for listed companies, compliance-heavy governance, risk, and board workflows. It's often positioned as the most robust "all-around enterprise governance" option.” GPT-5.4 mini · Board portals · comparative prompt · first choice
“Industry-standard governance platform with AI-powered meeting summaries... If you're a large public company needing full GRC: → Diligent” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Board · comparative prompt · first choice
“Diligent is the largest board portal vendor by market share... making it the choice for large enterprises with complex governance needs.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Board portals · comparative prompt · first choice
“Best for: Enterprise governance and secure board portals ... Strengths: Strong security, comprehensive governance features” Kimi K2 · Board · 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.

“Avoid enterprise solutions like Diligent ($15K–30K+/year) which are designed for large public companies.” MiniMax M2.5 · Board portals · budget prompt · hard negative
“Skip enterprise platforms like Diligent and OnBoard unless your budget is $6,000+/year” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Board portals · budget prompt · hard negative
