The questions

Where the shortlist gets decided

These are the shapes of question an assistant is asked in your category. Each one produces a short list of names, and that list is the whole competition.

  • Which supplier manufactures [component] to [standard]
  • Who can produce [specification] in small series in Europe
  • Which Swiss manufacturer supplies [industry]
Why it matters
The stakes

Industrial SMEs sits at 12 out of 100

Industrial procurement has moved from trade directories and known contacts to assisted search, and increasingly to agents assembling supplier longlists. A capable manufacturer that cannot be parsed simply never enters the list.

Where the gap is

Capability expressed as machinery and history rather than as specifications, tolerances, standards, and materials. Buyers and models both search by specification, which is usually the one thing the site does not state.

Find out where you stand

When a buyer asks an assistant who to work with, it names two or three companies and moves on. The audit puts the questions your buyers actually ask to all five AI platforms, scores you on the five things a model weighs before it cites anyone, and shows you which competitor is named in your place. You get the gap and the order to close it in, five business days from briefing.
