Subcategory · AI Citation Index
Government & Public Sector
Government software procurement shows unusual market fragmentation despite mature category presence. Tyler Technologies and OpenGov lead with 37% and 35% shortlist rates respectively, yet no vendor commands majority consideration—a pattern suggesting either highly specialized municipal needs or procurement inertia favoring niche solutions. All top brands achieve maximum model diversity (4), indicating evaluators assess vendors across varied criteria rather than converging on standard feature sets. The 0% prompt coverage reveals buyers rely entirely on organic discovery rather than AI-suggested options, consistent with risk-averse public procurement practices.
