Verbatim excerpt from one collected ChatGPT answer; formatting flattened, words untouched.

Docebo leads on frequency but TalentLMS edges it on average position (2.2 vs 2.3), making the top two essentially tied on prominence while every model agrees both belong in any serious shortlist. The 22-brand spread and the complete absence of LinkedIn Learning, Degreed, and SAP SuccessFactors Learning signal that AI models are constructing a different consideration set than traditional category rankings would predict.
