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.
“Review the service scope carefully: Rapid7 documents that some custom or contextual alerts may remain your team's responsibility” GPT-6 Luna · MDR · comparative prompt · alternative
“providers like Expel, eSentire, Rapid7, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Arctic Wolf, and Critical Start (these are well-regarded)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · MDR · negative prompt · alternative
“Other options include eSentire and Rapid7, which offer fully managed, analyst-led MDR services” Llama 4 Maverick · MDR · direct prompt · alternative
“named a Leader in the 2026 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide MDR Services for Midmarket” Claude Haiku 4.5 · MDR · direct 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.
“very well reviewed, but often more suitable if you want a broader security platform and can spend a bit more” GPT-5.4 mini · MDR · budget prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Rapid7 MDR. 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 47 of the 48 answers that named Rapid7 MDR and are not a share of its labels.
