The cre facilities management ranking as the September 2026 edition measured it: 25 runs across 25 prompts. The live category page carries the current edition; this one does not change.
Editorial read
Twenty-five prompts, one run each, captured from the ChatGPT app in early October 2026. Building Engines was named in 74% of runs, Facilio in 48% and MaintainX in 35%. buildingengines.com drew 33 citations, twice the next domain. MRI Angus came up in 13 of the 25 answers; it sits outside the ranking because the Index does not rank property management system modules. One run per prompt; read it as a first reading.
