Demand Planning
The demand planning category exhibits unusual uniformity: the top four vendors (o9 Solutions, Kinaxis, Anaplan, Blue Yonder) all achieve 60-62% shortlist rates with identical model diversity scores of 4, suggesting evaluators apply consistent criteria across forecasting and S&OP platforms. The sharp drop to 45% for NetSuite and 43% for SAP indicates enterprise ERP suites face skepticism when evaluated purely as demand planning tools. With 53 consensus brands but only 12 evaluation brands and zero prompt coverage, the category appears mature and well-defined, yet actual buyer inquiries remain absent from the dataset.
