By framing
What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“OnBoard leads in comparisons for mid-sized companies transitioning from emails/manuals—praised for intuitive interface, comprehensive features, and balance of cost/usability.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Board · direct prompt · first choice
“OnBoard - serves over 2,000 organizations across 32 countries and offers a balance of features and cost that fits organizations between startup and enterprise.” Llama 4 Maverick · Board · direct 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.
“Skip enterprise platforms like Diligent and OnBoard unless your budget is $6,000+/year” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Board portals · budget prompt · hard negative
“avoid enterprise-heavy giants (like Diligent, OnBoard, or Nasdaq Boardvantage, which often run upwards of $10,000 annually)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Board · budget prompt · soft negative
“Steep learning curve, especially for permissions and admin setup... Caution if: Small teams or non-tech-savvy boards” Grok 4.1 Fast · Board · negative prompt · soft negative
“Some reviewers report friction with large file uploads... Be cautious if you handle large documents regularly.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Board portals · negative prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page onboardmeetings.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person.

Claim this page
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when OnBoard's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as OnBoard, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for OnBoard by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where OnBoard is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
- the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
- its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
- who was chosen in the answers that did not name OnBoard, and every reason the record gives;
- a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
- one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
