Important limitation: The result applies to the published cohort, scoring policy, and snapshot—not every possible company or deployment.

How to choose: Use the leader for the displayed metric. Consider #2 or #3 when the linked benchmark shows a better cost, latency, coverage, or integration tradeoff for your constraints.

Implementation details: Endpoint, pricing, latency, methodology, and reproducibility notes live in the linked source benchmark.
