Movement

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

No positive label carried a quote.

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.

“$7 million fine, with $5.1 million earmarked for consumer refunds... Data breach in 2023 affected over 3.1 million individuals” Kimi K2 · Employee wellbeing · negative prompt · hard negative

“FTC 2024 settlement ($7M+); shared sensitive medical/prescription data for ads, misleading cancellation policies.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Employee wellbeing · negative prompt · hard negative

“Why to avoid: In 2024, they agreed to pay $3.6 million+ to resolve DOJ/DEA allegations” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Employee wellbeing · negative prompt · hard negative

“Cerebral installs nearly 800 trackers on a user's phone within a minute of downloading it” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Employee wellbeing · negative prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Cerebral. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 5 of the 6 answers that named Cerebral and are not a share of its labels.

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 Cerebral'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 Cerebral, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at cerebral.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
