Assessment methodology

Axomap Base v2 market methodology, applied as an audited update on 2026-10-05. Assess each category first, then synthesize the landscape. Use the defined rolling windows. Do not infer market maturity from average company maturity, leadership from funding alone, or product evolution from static snapshots. Prefer Emerging over Developing unless repeatable adoption is demonstrated across multiple independent providers. Use Polarized when a small group of strong leaders is clearly separated from a long tail. Use Surging only when venture funding has strengthened exceptionally and materially, while disclosing concentration. Keep explanations concise, market level, and free of company names.
