Cybersecurity research

Buyer-intent questions in a category where the wrong shortlist is expensive, measured against what the sources actually say. Each study below registers its question before any data is pulled, publishes every row, and is re-run on a schedule.

Two AI engines, two different security vendors, 72.7% of the time

The question: Asked the same buyer question, do two AI answer engines name the same leading security vendor?

What it found: No. On the 11 questions where both were consistent with themselves, they named a different leader on 8, and shared a median 3.8% of their sources.
