Movement

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

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.

“ColoCrossing is a good budget-first option to get a quote from” GPT-6 Luna · Colocation · budget prompt · first choice

“ColoCrossing / Dedicated.com (if you need a specific city location)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Colocation · budget 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.

“This provider has received warnings primarily focused on customer support responsiveness.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Colocation · negative prompt · hard negative

“Harsh reviews highlight poor uptime ... overall unreliability compared to global peers” Grok 4.1 Fast · Colocation · negative prompt · hard negative

“If you need production-critical infrastructure, avoid them.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Colocation · negative prompt · hard negative

“ColoCrossing has mixed reviews with some customers reporting: - Frequent server downtimes - Uptime problems - Mixed support experiences” MiniMax M2.5 · Colocation · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named ColoCrossing. 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 21 of the 21 answers that named ColoCrossing and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page colocrossing.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.

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

where ColoCrossing 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 ColoCrossing, 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.
