In the September 2026 Edition, 168 of the 216 answers collected in the one category where candidate.fyi holds a standing named it neither as a first choice nor as an alternative. These are the products those answers put first, category by category and buyer by buyer. The output is the models' output.
Seventy of the seventy-two answers did not name candidate.fyi; it was the first choice in zero. The first choices in those seventy answers, twelve products in all, the eight most named:

A category is asked six ways of each of twelve models on behalf of each buyer segment, so a segment is seventy-two answers. An answer belongs on this page when the judge labeled candidate.fyi neither its first choice nor an alternative in it; the products listed are the first choices those answers made, counted once per answer. An answer that named nothing first, or named candidate.fyi only in passing, is in the denominator and adds to no product. The counts are not the category standing, which is on the category page with its share and rank; they are the same record read from candidate.fyi's side.
Every answer and every label is in the free record. The output is the models' output; nothing here is a recommendation by the index, and a product named instead of candidate.fyi was named by a model, not endorsed by anyone.
