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.
“Shareworks by Morgan Stanley at Work is the mid-market to enterprise benchmark for compliance-oriented administration.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Cap table management · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“The traditional "enterprise" heavyweights. If you are actively on the road to an IPO within the next 12–18 months, these platforms excel ... though they can be slow to implement.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Cap table management · scale prompt · alternative
“Choose Shareworks if you want a more enterprise/finance-led platform and can tolerate a heavier implementation.” GPT-5.4 mini · Cap table management · direct prompt · alternative
“Consider platforms that have emerged as alternatives post-Carta scandal (Pulley, Shareworks, Ledgy, EquityList)” MiniMax M2.5 · Cap table management · negative 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.
“more appropriately sized than enterprise-first options like Shareworks / Morgan Stanley at Work... Choose Shareworks only if you are already at enterprise complexity” Perplexity Sonar · Cap table management · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
“it's worth a caution for startups specifically ... clunky and overkill for pre-Series-B companies” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Cap table management · negative prompt · soft negative
“If you are an early-stage or mid-stage startup, Shareworks is generally considered a poor fit.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Cap table management · negative prompt · soft negative
“Excellent compliance depth, but overkill and cost-prohibitive for most mid-sized companies” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Cap table management · paraphrase prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Shareworks. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 90 of the 97 answers that named Shareworks and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page morganstanley.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. Read September 29, 2026.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Shareworks by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where Shareworks 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 Shareworks, 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.
