I don't. AV software is virtually impossible to vet for a customer; it is the literal stone to keep tigers away (do you see any? It must therefore work). So 100 % of selling AV software is marketing, not functionality.
"Independent tests", e.g. how much slower the computer is made by AV software disfavour solid design: All else being equal an AV software where the signature engine runs directly in the kernel code intercepting FS calls will always be faster than the properly designed software were the signature engine runs at lower privileges (requiring task switching), and the FS filter driver has to delegate.
Tests where well-known malware is fed into engines and the red flag comes up are also pretty meaningless; signature scanning works, that's not the problem of the product.
The problem of the product is that the only things a customer can measure disfavour good execution of it and that signature detection is fundamentally inept in countering relevant attacks and therefore no real protection. Heuristics (or ML or whatever) doesn't really work well, either.
