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.
“Note: benchmark-first, so execution is lighter.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Compensation management · comparative prompt · soft negative
“or the equity focus of tools like Pave” Mistral Small · Compensation management · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 172 of the 213 answers that named Pave and are not a share of its labels.
682 of the 682 domain citations in answers naming Pave came from somebody else's page.
Pages are listed as the models cited them.
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 Pave'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 Pave, 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 pave.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.
