Key Findings
- Credo AI is the most-named vendor on every engine. It was named in 49.3% of answers overall and placed first on ChatGPT (50.0%), Gemini (43.3%) and Perplexity (54.5%).
- IBM is a close second and leads for three buyer types. IBM, counted through watsonx.governance and OpenPages model risk, was named in 44.9% of answers. It leads for bank risk and compliance officers (70.2%), heads of AI (64.3%) and public sector buyers (45.2%).
- Model risk buyers get a different list. For model risk management leads, SAS leads (42.9%), followed by IBM (36.9%) and ValidMind (33.3%). Credo AI, first overall, was named in 10.7% of these answers.
- Platform modules hold 37.4% of core mentions. Four of the top ten core vendors are broad platforms counted through a named AI governance module: IBM, OneTrust, ServiceNow and SAS.
- Adjacent products take almost half the mentions. Of 3,457 counted vendor mentions, 1,690 (48.9%) were adjacent products, and 176 of the 672 answers named no core vendor, including all 96 answers to the open questions.

What the Data Shows
Credo AI and IBM hold the top two places everywhere
Between them, Credo AI and IBM lead every buyer type except model risk, and they were named together in 235 answers. The top two hold 35.8% of core mentions and the top five hold 67.3%, so a handful of names account for most of the category, with Holistic AI, OneTrust and ModelOp completing the group.
Inventory questions favour the platforms buyers already run
Twenty-one companies in the core class sell a broad platform and count here only through a named AI governance product. Their share of core mentions depends on the question. On inventory and registry questions it was 48.2%. On risk assessment questions it was 28.6% and on cost and procurement 26.1%. When buyers ask where to keep a record of every AI system, the engines lean towards platforms they may already run.
Model risk, European and healthcare buyers see a different field
Model risk leads get SAS, IBM and ValidMind at the top, with Credo AI far behind. For European buyers, Modulos and Saidot (19.0%) enter the picture. Healthcare buyers have the most answers with no core vendor, and Ferrum Health appears only in their top five. A vendor ranked mid-table overall can be a leader for one of these buyers and almost absent for the rest.
ChatGPT moved most between runs below the top five
ChatGPT had the lowest core rank correlation between its two runs and Perplexity the highest (Table 4). The engines also disagree with each other below the leaders: in the adjacent table, Arthur was named in 15.6% of Gemini answers and 1.8% of ChatGPT answers. Below the leaders, the engine a buyer happens to use shapes the list they see.
Suites and ML platforms fill almost half the answers
One answer in four named no core vendor. That includes every answer to the 16 open questions, which asked about the governance problem rather than for products. The engines named 54 core vendors, and only 12 cleared the main-table line.
How to Read the Tables
The four views answer different questions: Tables 1 and 2 rank vendors overall, the buyer-type view shows the top five for each buyer type, and the engine view shows each engine's own top five. A vendor's position often differs between views, and that difference is usually the most useful thing to know.
Why the Line Is 7 Questions
A vendor is ranked only if it was named in 7 or more of the 112 questions in at least one engine run. Below that, the difference between one appearance and two reflects run-to-run variation more than a real gap. 42 further core entries and 73 further adjacent entries were named at least once but fell below the line. All of them are in the appendix and the CSV. Two core entries came close: Yields, with a best single run of 6 questions, and Airia, with 5. If a product was never named, that is a result rather than an omission.
How We Measured
Questions. 112 questions written in the voice of real buyers: 14 for each of eight buyer types, covering shortlist, capability and open problem questions. No question names a brand. Every question was reviewed for wording that would favour one kind of vendor, and the set was fixed before collection. One question (EU03) asks specifically for European vendors, so it favours them; non-European vendors named in its answers are still counted.
Collection. Each question was asked twice on ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity on 18 October 2026 (Singapore time), with no system message or prior conversation, set to US location and English. All 672 answers were collected.
Counting. A company counts once per answer, however many times it is named. A mention counts when the answer recommends or lists the product as an option. Products named only as something to avoid, as the buyer's existing tools or environment, as an integration target or as a source do not count.
Classes. Core and adjacent are defined under Tables 1 and 2. Tools that only block, redact or test AI at runtime count as adjacent here. Each product is judged against this index's definition alone, whatever its class in other Ranking Atlas indexes. Legal and contract tools, AI model providers and health record systems are out of scope.
Score. Visibility % is the mean of the six engine-run percentages, so each engine counts equally.
Acquired products. A product bought or renamed by another company counts under its owner on the collection date, and the label says so wherever the earlier brand was named, for example Veeam (incl. Securiti) and Optro (incl. AuditBoard). Where a single answer named both brands, it counts once.
How Consistent Each Engine Was Between Runs
| Engine | Core: rank correlation | Core: top-10 overlap | Adjacent: rank correlation | Adjacent: top-10 overlap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | 0.634 | 9 of 10 | 0.579 | 10 of 10 |
| Gemini | 0.741 | 9 of 10 | 0.645 | 9 of 10 |
| Perplexity | 0.927 | 10 of 10 | 0.874 | 9 of 10 |
All three engines returned the same leaders twice, and Perplexity was the most stable. ChatGPT and Gemini varied more among rarely named vendors, which is why the index averages two runs per engine and does not rely on one.
Limitations
This is one collection window, so answers can change week to week. Real users with their own history, location or settings may see different answers. Coding was done by a single coder against a fixed codebook, with every judgement call logged. Where an answer names a platform company without its governance product, it counts as adjacent, which can understate that company's core score. Counts measure how often a vendor is named, not whether the recommendation is favourable. Results for a buyer type rest on 14 questions. Vendors mentioned only once in running text may be missing, so the count of rarely named vendors is a minimum.

FAQ
Where does my company rank?
Find it in Table 1 or Table 2 and use the row link to share its position. Then check the buyer-type and engine views, because a vendor's position often differs from one buyer type or engine to the next.
Why is my company missing?
It was named in fewer than 7 of the 112 questions in every engine run, or it was never named. Every vendor named at least once is in the appendix and the CSV with its exact figures.
How can a smaller vendor rank ahead of a larger one?
Because this measures how often AI engines name a vendor, not market share or deployments. A widely deployed product can be named rarely, and a smaller one can be named often. Both are accurate descriptions of what the engines said on the collection date.
Why do IBM, OneTrust and others appear in both tables?
Because the engines named them in both roles. OneTrust AI Governance counts as core, and OneTrust named for its privacy or third-party risk products counts as adjacent. Each table counts the company once per answer.
Why is AuditBoard not listed separately?
AuditBoard had been renamed Optro by the collection date, so its mentions count under Optro, with the label shown. Where one answer named both, it counts once.
Why are buyer-type scores higher than overall scores?
A buyer-type score is out of 84 answers (14 questions, six engine runs), and those questions are written for that buyer, so the relevant vendors appear more often. Compare buyer-type scores with each other and overall scores with each other, but not across the two.
