02What they warned about

Two of twelve models held their first choice under the paraphrase. Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5.4 mini, Gemini 3.5 Flash, Grok 4.1 Fast, Mistral Small, DeepSeek V4 Flash, Llama 4 Maverick, Qwen 3.7 Flash, Kimi K2 and MiniMax M2.5 changed. A high negative share on a product with few labels is a warning. A low share on a product with many labels is salience, not sentiment.

04How they answered

Six framings of the same buying question, each sent to every model in a fresh session with search on. One row per model, so a row shows whether it held its answer under rewording, what it named when cost was the constraint, and what it argued against. Computed from the raw judge labels.

ModelDirect“What is the best recruitment marketing platform for an enterprise B2B company?”Paraphrase“Which career site builder would you recommend to a large B2B company with thousands of employees?”Comparative“What are the top enterprise-grade recruitment marketing platforms and how do they differ?”Budget-constrained“What is the best recruitment marketing platform for a large company that needs predictable total cost across thousands of users?”Scale-constrained“We are a 5,000 person company with SSO, SOC 2 and procurement review requirements evaluating a recruitment marketing platform. What should we look at?”Negative“Which recruitment marketing platforms should a large enterprise avoid or be cautious about?”
