October 2026 Edition. Every number here is derived from the raw labels under vendor table v2026-10.8, every buyer segment counted.

Standing

4 labels, too few to rank

A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share or quadrant is stated. Anaplan was named 4 times in IT financial mgmt and 2 other categories, where Nicus ITFM Platform led with 9%. The labels and the evidence are below, counted exactly.

Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Anaplan 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 Anaplan 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.

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.

“If you want a platform where you can easily ingest your General Ledger (GL) and cloud bills and start generating chargeback reports in a few weeks, avoid Anaplan.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · IT financial mgmt · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Anaplan. 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 7 of the 9 answers that named Anaplan and are not a share of its labels.
