+2 Relative PlacementSmall upward tweak — model-vendor dependence and commodity AI positioning raise modest vulnerability despite strong enterprise entrenchment.
Explicit integrations with third‑party model providers (Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Vertex AI) increase exposure to model‑vendor shiftsMarketing leans on commodity AI language ('Trusted Data for AI', 'AI‑ready'), which makes the value easier to repackageDeep technical entanglement (patented visitor stitching, SDKs, real‑time APIs, 1,300+ integrations) creates meaningful switching costs
