PYRAMYD Field Report · May 2026
Six findings drawn from the PYRAMYD Product Graph — 251,835 products across 2,606 categories, 2.4M aggregated reviews, and 1,000+ live signal sources. Every chart, every percentage, generated from the live graph.
The headline finding
The enterprise software market is more fragmented, faster-moving, and more geographically distributed than incumbent CI tools account for. Battle cards refreshed quarterly are wrong by definition. Category maps anchored on G2's named leaders miss the actual growth frontier.
Six findings
Finding 01
14
median vendors per category
Across 2,606 enterprise software categories in the graph, the median category has 14 active vendors competing. The top 5% of categories have 200+ vendors. CRM alone has 84 vendors with material review volume. Stack consolidation narratives have outrun the actual data.
Finding 02
63%
of reviews on top 10% of products
63% of the 2.4M reviews in the graph belong to the top 10% of products. The long-tail (61,000+ products with under 100 reviews each) is where competitive intelligence is weakest — and where category bets need the most help. CI tools that only track the named leaders miss most of the actual market activity.
Finding 03
1.7×
vertical SaaS vendor velocity
1,117 of the 2,606 categories in the graph (43%) sit in vertical-industry-specific software — and they're adding new vendors 1.7× faster than horizontal SaaS. If you're competing in healthcare, financial services, legal, or retail-tech, your category map is stale within 6 months without weekly refresh.
Finding 04
3.2×
review-count advantage for multi-product vendors
Vendors with 4+ products average 3.2× the review count of single-product vendors in the same category. Cross-product CI signal (release cadence, feature parity, capability overlap) is the leading indicator nobody is tracking — because it requires graph traversal, not document chunking.
Finding 05
2.4×
vendor growth in mid-tier markets
Across 249 country markets, the top 10 economies (US, UK, DE, FR, CA, AU, JP, IN, NL, SG) capture 78% of the enterprise software review volume. But the next 40 countries (Latam, EMEA, APAC mid-tier) are adding vendors 2.4× faster than the top 10. CI strategies anchored on G2 alone systematically miss the growth frontier.
Finding 06
11 days
median time-between-changes for top vendors
Across the 1,000+ signal sources in the graph, the median product material change (release, pricing, integration announcement, leadership move) lands every 11 days for a top-100 vendor. Battle cards refreshed quarterly are wrong by definition. Weekly refresh is the floor; live graph traversal is the ceiling.
Methodology
Every figure traces back to a query against the live Product Graph. The full SQL methodology is available on request.
