Performance Management: AI Visibility Ranking

Platforms for performance reviews, goals and OKRs, 1:1s, and feedback cycles. Right now, Lattice is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 86 and the #1 spot in 69% of answers. Head-to-head: Lattice vs 15Five →

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.

Lattice leads; 15Five is everyone's second thought.

Lattice is the clear default in Performance Management, earning a first-pick rate of 69% while scoring consistently across all three models. The more telling signal is 15Five: it surfaces in 89% of answers yet never gets picked first, meaning the models know it well enough to mention but not well enough to recommend. That consideration-without-conversion gap suggests 15Five has brand presence in AI training data but not the authority signals that drive top placement.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.

Just below the cutoff: Workleap (4.4), Engagedly (3.9), Profit.co (3.9), Oracle HCM (3.5), Trakstar (3.5). 47 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.

Visibility Score: position-weighted presence across all measured answers, 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the brand was the first recommendation in every answer. Every point in a trend line is a live monthly measurement; there is no modeled or backfilled history. Full methodology.

Openness 14/100: the share of this category's recommendation weight not held by the leader.
