What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“For most small businesses, Sectigo SCM Pro offers the best balance of affordability, automation, and ease of use.” Mistral Small · Certificate management · budget prompt · first choice

“Sectigo SCM Pro is your best "set-and-forget" option at ~$300–$600/year” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Certificate management · budget prompt · first choice

“Sectigo SCM | Cost-effective, full CLM features | Good entry point” Kimi K2 · Certificate management · scale prompt · first choice

“Best For: Companies already using Sectigo products or those wanting a traditional CLM interface” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Certificate management · budget 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.

“Sectigo's platform lacks CA agnosticism... This could be a dealbreaker” Mistral Small · Certificate management · negative prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page sectigo.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. Read October 5, 2026.

Names read as Sectigo SCM Pro

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Sectigo SCM Pro; a claim can dispute any of them.
