My last post ended on a result I liked far too much.
I run free leaderboards of which products AI answer engines name when you ask them to recommend software in a category. Take one buying question, write it 44 different ways, ask every engine all 44, count every product named, publish the counts and the raw runs.
A consultant on the SuiteCRM forum told me my questions were empty — no industry, no existing systems, no constraints — and that if I added the buyer's real situation, SuiteCRM would start coming back. I ran it and he was right by a mile: from 0 mentions in 132 answers to 83, and from absent to first in the category.
That is a great story and it is n = 1. One market, and it is the exact market the person who predicted it works in. So the only honest next move was to try to break it on a market that has nothing to do with CRM, and publish whichever way it fell.
The replication
