Why these criteria?

The three weights that move the ranking most for finance.

Reasoning (×1.3)

Valuation, scenario modelling and risk analysis are reasoning-heavy. The model needs to chain numerical and qualitative steps without losing the thread.

Coding (×1.3)

Quant teams, FP&A and middle-office workflows lean heavily on Python, SQL and spreadsheet automation — coding quality directly drives productivity.

Cost-efficiency (×1.2)

Finance teams often run AI at high volume (filings parsing, ticket triage, report generation). Per-token pricing has a real bottom-line impact.
