Follow Up Boss dominates; kvCORE owns nothing yet but is climbing. Follow Up Boss holds the top spot across all three models and wins on use-case fit and small-team questions, the two themes that capture most early-stage buyer intent. Its 65% first-pick rate versus kvCORE's 1% tells the real story: when any model recommends kvCORE, it lands well down the list at average position 2.8. kvCORE's only encouraging signal is a +7 month-over-month score gain, suggesting it is closing some ground, though it has yet to claim a single question theme outright.
