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.
“Connecting ESG metrics and monitoring with governance, risk, compliance, and board-level oversight.” GPT-6 Luna · ESG and carbon reporting · comparative prompt · alternative
“Strong governance orientation with ESG data collection, benchmarking, and reporting.” Perplexity Sonar · ESG and carbon reporting · comparative prompt · alternative
“Best for: Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) integrated with ESG” Kimi K2 · ESG and carbon reporting · comparative prompt · alternative
“Best-in-class for the "G" in ESG.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · ESG and carbon reporting · comparative 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.
“Enterprise platforms like Sphera, IBM Envizi, or Diligent ESG are often overkill (and overpriced)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · ESG and carbon reporting · negative prompt · soft negative
