By framing
What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Strong threat intelligence integration, excels at contextualizing exposed data, dark web chatter, and threat actor signals.” Mistral Small · DRP · comparative prompt · first choice
“If you want deep threat intelligence context (understanding who is attacking and why) → Recorded Future” DeepSeek V4 Flash · DRP · comparative prompt · first choice
“From leaders like Recorded Future (strong intel), ZeroFox (takedowns), Rapid7 (SOC integration).” Grok 4.20 · DRP · scale prompt · first choice
“I recommend Recorded Future as your primary solution” GLM 4.7 FlashX · DRP · paraphrase prompt · first choice
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.
“What to avoid ... Recorded Future: Quote-based, but generally above $10,000/year.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · DRP · budget prompt · hard negative
“Recorded Future is cited as an example of this trade-off: * Weaknesses: * Limited social media monitoring compared to platforms specializing in brand protection” Muse Glimmer 30B · DRP · negative prompt · soft negative
“Top-ranked for threat intel and DRP, but complaints include high costs, setup complexity, alert fatigue (less relevant noise), and limited automation” Grok 4.20 · DRP · negative prompt · soft negative
“far more accessible than enterprise-focused tools like ZeroFox or Recorded Future, which typically require custom six-figure quotes” DeepSeek V4 Flash · DRP · direct prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page recordedfuture.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.

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 Recorded Future'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 Recorded Future, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
