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.

“If your budget is literally $0 and you use GitHub: Turn on Dependabot. It takes two minutes to configure” Gemini 3.5 Flash · SCA · budget prompt · first choice

“Use GitHub Dependabot (free, native) alongside Trivy for container/IaC.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · SCA · budget prompt · alternative

“GitHub Dependabot if you're on GitHub — it auto-opens fix PRs” DeepSeek V4 Flash · SCA · paraphrase prompt · alternative

“turn on Dependabot (which is free and built-in)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · SCA · paraphrase 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.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named GitHub Dependabot. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 15 of the 26 answers that named GitHub Dependabot and are not a share of its labels.

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 GitHub Dependabot'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 GitHub Dependabot, 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 github.io 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.
