scene cut
Procurement teams are consolidating contracts, favoring suites with integrated identity and compliance controls unless specialists show measurable domain lift.
signal braid
- Standalone tools face higher proof requirements.

- Domain specific relevance quality becomes key moat.
my take
Search vendors now win by proving embedded workflow impact, not by selling generic retrieval capability.
