Expense Management
The expense management category exhibits unusual equilibrium: all top brands achieve maximum model diversity (5/5) while clustering in a narrow 22-point shortlist range. This pattern—combined with 50 consensus brands yet only 12 evaluation brands and zero prompt coverage—suggests buyers evaluate expense tools through consistent criteria across use cases, but actual deployments remain concentrated among proven players. The gap between consensus breadth and evaluation depth indicates organizations shortlist widely but ultimately select conservatively.
