Procurement & Sourcing
The procurement category reveals a mature market where brand recognition drives selection more than use-case specificity. With 0% prompt coverage across 67 consensus brands, evaluators appear to default to known enterprise players rather than articulating distinct sourcing requirements. The top tier (Coupa, SAP Ariba, NetSuite) clusters tightly at 57-60% shortlist rates with uniform model diversity (4), indicating these platforms are considered interchangeable for general procurement needs. This pattern suggests either commoditization of core source-to-pay functionality or evaluators' difficulty in differentiating vendor capabilities without concrete purchasing scenarios.
