Tools aren't the problem. Knowing what they do,
that's the problem.
Tracked capabilities
Most tools and platforms position themselves as "end to end," but in reality they support specific parts of the workflow.
Now they are categorized based on their actual capabilities, not their marketing.
What this unlocks
Compare vendors across a consistent baseline- Identify gaps in your current stack
- Separate execution tools from decision-making tools
Explore the companies. Find what's missing in your stack.
Start with a company you don't know, a capability you need, or a workflow step you're trying to fill.
Capabilities show what a platform does, not how well it performs. Companies do not pay for inclusion or placement.
