Encompass vs Byte Software

Encompass leads everywhere; Byte Software owns nothing yet. Encompass commands this matchup by appearing in 68% of answers versus Byte Software's 49%, and the gap sharpens at the top: Encompass takes first pick 60% of the time while Byte Software has never landed there. The separation comes mostly from Gemini, which scores Encompass at 68 and nearly ignores Byte Software at 3, and from Claude, where the 17-point gap reinforces the same story across every question theme Encompass sweeps all eight. Byte Software's only foothold is a tie on ChatGPT, where both brands score identically at 48, but that single model equilibrium is too narrow to build a competitive position on.
