Industry ranking

Compare momentum, innovativeness, and documented cases. Share change compares the last 6 months with the preceding 6 months. Counts and activity include all published cases; average innovativeness uses Verified evidence.

How to read share change

Change in this industry's share of documented cases: its share in the last 6 months divided by its share in the preceding 6 months. Above 1× means a larger share; below 1× means a smaller share. At least 5 prior cases and a catalog baseline are required. For example, 1.5× means the industry’s share is 50% larger. “Recent” and “prior” show case counts in those two periods. This measures coverage in the catalog, not real-world adoption.
