OKRs
The OKR software category demonstrates robust initial interest with top contenders achieving 59-69% shortlist rates and consistent model diversity of 4 across all leaders, indicating buyers evaluate multiple options systematically. However, the steep drop from 36 consensus brands to only 12 reaching formal evaluation reveals significant friction in the buying journey—likely reflecting implementation complexity, change management concerns, or difficulty differentiating capabilities. WorkBoard's 69% shortlist rate positions it marginally ahead in a tightly clustered field where legacy players like Asana and Microsoft Viva Goals compete directly with specialized OKR-native platforms.
