Selection note
The sixth slot was contested between CosmoLex and Lawmatics. CosmoLex had strong review-site evidence but only one social platform (Facebook Groups) — below the prompt's two-independent-social-sources minimum — so Lawmatics (Facebook Groups + Instagram + Threads, filling the law-firm CRM slot in the category scope) was selected. Full reasoning in the research log.
