How AI sees ADP

Mentioned but never chosen; AI treats ADP as background noise.

Where it wins. ADP appears in 35% of HR and payroll conversations, and the 'Enterprise pick' theme gives it a defensible positioning peg among large-org queries.

Where it loses. A first-pick rate of 0% means AI models consistently place it in supporting-cast roles, and landing at rank 6 of 15 puts it well below the default recommendations buyers actually act on.
