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.
“a provision-light SaaS/workpaper tool with Excel import/export and deferred tax mapping, e.g. Longview Tax Provision or Sovos Tax Provision” Muse Glimmer 30B · Corporate tax provision · budget prompt · first choice
“I'd start with Bloomberg Tax Provision or Longview Tax” GPT-5.4 mini · Corporate tax provision · direct prompt · first choice
“Longview Tax is often worth a close look because it's explicitly positioned for midsize and enterprise organizations” GPT-5.4 mini · Corporate tax provision · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“Choose Longview if you're a consolidation-heavy organization needing configurable, traceable workflows” Kimi K2 · Corporate tax provision · 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.
“one source explicitly says to avoid or be cautious about Longview, ONESOURCE, Workiva, Oracle Tax Reporting, and Corptax in certain budget/fit contexts” Perplexity Sonar · Corporate tax provision · negative prompt · hard negative
“"Avoid for now: OneSource, Corptax, Longview – these are enterprise-grade tools with enterprise-grade price tags."” Muse Glimmer 30B · Corporate tax provision · negative prompt · hard negative
“designed for large enterprises and should be avoided by smaller organizations” Mistral Small · Corporate tax provision · negative prompt · hard negative
“3. Longview” Llama 4 Maverick · Corporate tax provision · negative prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Longview Tax. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
