Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Whistlelink 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 Whistlelink across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“For most small businesses, Whistlelink and EthicsPoint Essentials are the best balance of affordability, ease of use, and compliance.” Mistral Small · Whistleblowing · budget prompt · first choice

“Popular options for your scale include FaceUp, Whistlelink, and Vault Platform for their balance of features and affordability.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Whistleblowing · scale prompt · first choice

“Whistlelink and FaceUp stand out as the best whistleblowing and investigation platforms based on affordability” Grok 4.1 Fast · Whistleblowing · budget prompt · first choice

“If you have ~$50-80/month and want minimal hassle: → Whistlelink — Excellent value with strong EU compliance” Kimi K2 · Whistleblowing · budget prompt · first choice

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.

“"Cliff pricing". Moving from one headcount band to the next ... can result in a steep jump in monthly costs.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Whistleblowing · budget prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Whistlelink. 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 92 of the 92 answers that named Whistlelink and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page whistlelink.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. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read October 5, 2026.

Names read as Whistlelink

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Whistlelink; a claim can dispute any of them.

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

where Whistlelink 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 Whistlelink, 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.

Badges

Wins only: a badge exists where Whistlelink is ranked in a category's top three this edition. Three sizes, one file each, light and dark; the code is under each.

Whistlelink is among the products AI models recommend first in Whistleblowing and investigations this edition. Each badge says so in the buyer's words, names the edition, and links to the standing. The next edition issues a new badge; this one stays true as a record of October 2026.
