What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Syft generates Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs); Grype scans them for vulnerabilities” Kimi K2 · Container security · budget prompt · alternative

“These two tools are designed to work together to secure your software supply chain.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · SCA · budget prompt · alternative

“with Grype + Syft as a strong alternative depending on your stack” Kimi K2 · 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.

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 Grype + Syft'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 Grype + Syft, 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 grype.com 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.
