Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Brightside yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Brightside across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“such as LearnLux, Origin, or Brightside) that delivers three high-impact benefits in a single, turn-key software solution” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Financial wellness · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“Best For: Organizations with high percentages of hourly or frontline staff” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Financial wellness · 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.

“Evaluate Brightside, while scrutinizing any associated financial products and their costs.” GPT-6 Luna · Financial wellness · comparative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Brightside. 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 23 of the 24 answers that named Brightside and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page gobrightside.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. Read October 5, 2026.

Is this your product?

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 Brightside'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 Brightside, 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 Brightside by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Brightside 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 Brightside, 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.
