How the score is built

A hundred points, and this is how they are allocated. One question asked three ways — did the product make the shortlist, how high on it, and was it in the top three — each measured across every Task Management answer, so 100 would mean named first in all of them.

Did it make the shortlist?The share of the category's answers that name the product at all. An answer either brings it up or it does not.

Leader here

98.1%

Median here

2.8%

Position is ignored here. Named last counts exactly as much as named first.
Prominence15%
How high on the shortlist?Mean reciprocal rank: named first scores 1, second a half, third a third, and an answer that never names it scores nothing.

Divided by every answer in the category, not only the ones it appears in. The conditional version rewards being named rarely and early.
Top-3 rate15%
Was it in the top three of it?The share of the category's answers that open with the product in the first three names, which is as far as most buyers read.

The strictest of the three. A zero means never in the opening three — not never named.

The 70/15/15 split is a judgment, not a fitted parameter — and a safe one: equal weight and position-heavy weightings return this same leaderboard, at a rank correlation above 0.99. Why, and what was tested
