15Five 15Five: AI Visibility Report

15five.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about performance management, 15Five ranks #2 of 15, a Visibility Score of 68 in Performance Management (and appears in 2 categories of the index).

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

How AI sees 15Five

Strong in performance management, thin everywhere else.

Where it wins. 15Five reaches an 88.9% mention rate in Performance Management and holds the number 2 rank there, meaning AI models consistently surface it when buyers ask about managing employee performance. That single category is doing real work.

Where it loses. Employee Engagement tells a different story: a 40.3% mention rate and rank 5 of 15 with zero first picks in either category means 15Five earns consideration without ever anchoring a recommendation, and its absence from Enterprise pick conversations in Engagement limits how seriously it gets treated at the top of the funnel.
