TechSelectAI Software Evidence Coverage Benchmark
Original benchmark of software evidence coverage, verification confidence and freshness across the TechSelectAI catalog.
Snapshot: 2026-11-09 · Methodology: research-v1.0 · Source data fresh through 2026-10-27 11:11:50
Key benchmark findings
These figures describe TechSelectAI research coverage and source verification, not product quality, market share or vendor ranking.
Catalog-wide verified-source share is 100%. Source data is fresh through 2026-10-27 11:11:50.
Category benchmark
Coverage measures the share of recorded base-product capability rows that have a known evidence status. It is a data-coverage statistic, not a product quality score.
Specialist research paths
Use the benchmark to understand TechSelectAI's evidence coverage, then continue into specialist category and research pages for buyer-level requirements. These links do not rank categories or vendors; they connect the dataset to deeper evidence models.

Methodology, definitions and reproducibility
This benchmark is generated from TechSelectAI's own active software catalog, base-product capability-evidence rows and evidence-source records. Third-party marketplace ratings are not copied into the benchmark.
known capability rows ÷ all recorded base-product capability rows × 100Known rows exclude statuses unknown and not yet verified. Those states are research gaps, not evidence of missing functionality.
verified evidence-source records ÷ all evidence-source records × 100mean confidence score for capability rows whose status is knownConfidence measures the recorded evidence strength/freshness for a fact; it is not a product-quality score.
Scope: 407 active products across 73 represented categories and 1491 evidence-source records. Edition-specific capability rows are excluded from the coverage denominator; the benchmark uses base-product capability records where edition_id IS NULL.
Freshness: the dataset's source-data date is the latest recorded product review, capability verification or evidence-source check across active products. Each category row also exposes its latest recorded activity date.
Limitations: category taxonomies differ in depth, and a higher coverage percentage means TechSelectAI has established more known statuses in that category—not that products in that category are better. Evidence-source counts also do not prove a particular capability unless a source is linked to that capability claim.
