Standing by category

Every category where a model named Cloud Assess for a mid-market B2B company. Share is first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts; rank is within every product named in that category.

Movement

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

By model

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“If you want the cheapest viable option, I'd start with Cloud Assess” Perplexity Sonar · Skills intelligence · budget prompt · first choice

“If you need a simple, structured approach, Skills Base or Cloud Assess may be best.” Mistral Small · Skills intelligence · budget prompt · alternative

“The Assessment-Led Platforms (e.g., iMocha, Cloud Assess)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Skills intelligence · scale 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.

“cost may be higher—use only if compliance is a primary concern.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Skills intelligence · budget prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Cloud Assess. 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 9 of the 10 answers that named Cloud Assess and are not a share of its labels.

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 Cloud Assess'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 Cloud Assess, 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 cloudassess.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.
