Head to head
Deloitte vs RSM
Named side by side in 5 NetSuite and ERP implementation partners questions. Deloitte came out ahead on 3; on 0 the sample cannot tell them apart.
Over 5 NetSuite and ERP implementation partners questions measured by The Shortlist Report over 1517 AI responses, Deloitte was named more often than RSM on 3 of them, RSM on 2, and the sample could not separate them on the remaining 0.
How Deloitte and RSM differ
This data does not establish which firm is better. Deloitte’s strongest result relative to RSM was on “Which ERP partners measure business outcomes after go-live?” (35.0% versus 10.2%), while RSM’s strongest result relative to Deloitte was on “Who supports an ERP after go-live?” (31.0% versus 15.7%).
Those are the clearest differences in the shared sample. They measure which firm AI assistants surfaced more often for each buyer question, not service quality or client results.

How to read this
Share is the percentage of sampled ChatGPT responses to a question that named the firm at all — a measure of visibility, not of the work. A capable firm little has been written about will score low, which is a fact about how often it gets named and not a verdict on whether to hire it.
"Too close to call" is a result, not a gap in the data. Firms are grouped into tiers holding every firm the sample cannot statistically separate from that tier's leader, so two firms in one tier are reported as level however their percentages happen to fall. On 0 of these 5 questions that is what the measurement supports, and saying otherwise would be inventing precision.
Nothing here is our judgement of who is good. It is a count of who gets named. Both firms are measured over the same questions and the same 1517 responses, so neither is being scored on a sample the other did not face.
