Scope & Evaluation Criteria

What qualifies as a relevant competitor

A relevant competitor is any product or platform that:

• Systematically collects public web or social data at scale
• Applies AI or rule-based processing to extract structured signals
• Delivers brand, market, or competitive insights to B2B users
• Operates as a repeatable system, not a one-off research service

This includes platforms focused on brand monitoring, visual intelligence, competitive research, and structured data extraction.

What is explicitly excluded
