Knowledge Base
The knowledge base category demonstrates mature buyer awareness with 59 consensus brands yet reveals a critical gap: 0% prompt coverage suggests buyers arrive with specific vendor names rather than problem statements. Notion's 66% shortlist rate and Document360's 56% indicate strong consideration momentum, while established players like Atlassian (51%) and Salesforce (43%) maintain solid positioning. The uniform model diversity of 4 across top brands signals evaluators compare similar feature sets across different vendor ecosystems.
