How the matching works

The three questions match the three kinds of label the catalog holds for each profile, and nothing else is read. Industry is one choice from a fixed list that ends with Other. Team size is one of four headcount bands. Priorities are picked from twelve process areas such as incident management, permits to work, ESG reporting or CAPA. Two to four is a sensible number: every extra priority rewards profiles tagged for more areas, which favours broad suites over focused tools.

What the ranking is based on

A profile is eligible only if its catalog tags include at least one of your priorities. Tags are compared by process name, and a few spelling variants count as one process, for example Permit to Work and Permits to Work (PTW). Document-template libraries are left out because they are resources rather than software. Each eligible profile then scores 4 points per priority tag it carries, 3 if it lists your industry and 2 if its team-size labels include your band. Choosing Other for industry earns nobody the industry points. The five highest scores are shown, and equal scores are put in product-ID order, which is an alphabetical tiebreak and not a judgement. Ratings, partner status and budget do not enter the calculation.

The arithmetic has consequences. One priority plus both labels scores 9 and outranks two priorities with no labels at 8. Two priorities plus both labels score 13 and outrank three priorities with no labels at 12.

What a result contains

You get up to five cards. Each shows the rank, the product name and category, a short scope line, how many of your priorities carry a matching tag and which ones, and which industry and size labels matched. A priority with no tag is flagged as an information gap rather than proof the product lacks the capability. The card also gives the pricing model recorded on the profile, the date its sources were last checked and a link to the sources and demo questions. No rating is shown, and your budget is not tested against any quote. You can add products to a comparison and prepare a demo scorecard from the same page.

What is stored

The matching runs in your browser against the catalog file. While you answer, a draft is kept in the browser tab so you can resume. When results appear, your answers and the suggested product IDs are saved in this browser's local storage so you can reopen them; they are not sent to us for that. Our analytics record which question number was completed, with a random session identifier and not your answers. Name, email, answers and the suggested products are saved with us only if you choose to request an email copy or a callback. A callback additionally shares company, job title and phone with the commercial partner named on that form, and the optional budget there is for quote discussions only. Section 4 of the privacy policy sets this out.

Three example inputs

• Construction, 51-200 employees, with permits to work, contractor management and safety management. A profile tagged for all three and listing construction scores 15, or 17 if it also lists the size band. One tagged for two of the three with both labels scores 13. A three-tag profile with neither label scores 12, so a narrower tool with matching labels can sit above a broad one.
• Food & Beverage, 201-1000 employees, with audits and inspections plus CAPA. Profiles with both tags and both labels all score 13. Their order is then alphabetical by product ID, so position inside that group says nothing about fit and all of them deserve a read.
• Other, 1000+ employees, with ESG reporting plus carbon accounting. No industry points are possible, so the best available score is 10 and tags plus headcount decide everything. If your sector matters, run it again with the nearest named industry and compare the two lists.

What it cannot do

It does not read product descriptions or feature lists, only labels. A missing tag may mean the label was never added. It does not judge quality, fit, implementation effort, integrations, hosting or price, and the catalog covers the profiles we have reviewed, not the whole market. It does not know your existing systems, languages, regulators or number of sites. Treat the list as a way to decide which profiles to read first, then check their sources, run the same demo scenario with each vendor (see the demo checklist) and cost the options in the TCO worksheet.
