Audit & SOX
The audit and SOX compliance category shows moderate concentration at the top but significant fragmentation below, with AuditBoard and Workiva each appearing on roughly half of shortlists while achieving maximum model diversity (4). The 41-percentage-point gap between the leader and the fifth-ranked brand (ServiceNow at 39%) suggests buyers differentiate strongly on specialized audit capabilities versus general GRC platforms. With 53 consensus brands and only 12 evaluated brands, most selection activity occurs at the awareness and shortlist stages, indicating buyers rely heavily on category reputation and peer recommendations before deep evaluation.
