Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“CyCognito, CrowdStrike Falcon Surface, and Microsoft Defender EASM are strong starting points” DeepSeek V4 Flash · ASM · scale prompt · first choice
“Best For: Maturity-driven programs that want to know not just what is exposed, but what is currently being attacked.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · ASM · comparative prompt · alternative
“If you already use Falcon for endpoint security (EDR), Falcon Surface provides a great outside-in view” Gemini 3.5 Flash · ASM · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“comprehensive coverage, best for existing CrowdStrike users; strong in behavior-based threat intel” Grok 4.20 · ASM · comparative 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.
“note that these can be highly enterprise-focused and expensive if bought as standalone products” Gemini 3.5 Flash · ASM · scale prompt · soft negative
“forcing your ASM into the Palo Alto or CrowdStrike console may create blind spots” Qwen 3.7 Flash · ASM · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named CrowdStrike Falcon Surface. 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 42 of the 42 answers that named CrowdStrike Falcon Surface and are not a share of its labels.
