The Week 28 Sales Software Report

Week 28 Is the Baseline

This report covers Cooper's first official Sales software hub snapshot: ten category-relative Overall AIQ rankings measured across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity during July 6–12, 2026, under scoring version aiq-v2. Each section is a separate market record, so its scores and ranks should be read inside that category rather than as a combined Sales leaderboard.

Week 28 is Cooper's first official tracked edition, so week-over-week movement is not yet available. Return for the next edition to see the first recorded movers.

The baseline already shows two distinct recommendation shapes. Six of the ten category leaders hold a first- or second-place assistant rank with at least three of the four assistants. Other leader records are more divided, including a fourteenth-place Claude rank, a fifteenth-place Gemini rank, and one case with no Claude category rank in this scope. Those are snapshot differences in assistant placement, not a ranking of one Sales market against another.

How to Read This Report

Overall AIQ is category-relative and combines Cooper's Best, Most affordable, and Easiest to set up questions. The assistant columns show each product's published category rank inside that Overall scope. An em dash means there was no category rank in this scope; it does not describe the assistant's intent.

Each compact table summarizes the category's first three products. Sources counts distinct verified source domains for a product, while Mentions counts distinct cited pages verified as naming that product. The category totals in the prose use cited pages and verified product-page mentions for the full category snapshot, and neither evidence measure is presented as the cause of a rank.

Rising AIQ is a separate measurement dimension and is not included in this Overall analysis. Readers looking for emerging-product results can open the separate Week 28 Rising AIQ report.

What Week 28 Establishes

Across the ten category snapshots, assistant agreement is sometimes broad and sometimes sharply asymmetric. Six category leaders rank first or second with at least three assistants, while Sales Engagement and Sales Enablement each place a Top 3 product that is ranked by only one or three assistants respectively. Contract Management and CPQ also show why evidence volume must be read as a separate public measure: in both sections, Overall order and Top 3 evidence order are visibly different.

These are baseline observations, not cross-category performance comparisons. A later official edition is required before the report can say whether any assistant split, evidence pattern, or category ordering persists. The ten category links above open the complete rankings, and the Week 28 Rising AIQ report keeps emerging-product analysis separate from Overall AIQ.
