Market clip — search spend vs. outcomes

Source — https://www.example-analyst.com/reports/workplace-search-2026 (hypothetical URL for template purposes; replace with a real source before citing publicly).

Key quotes

“Teams doubled down on enterprise search licenses while self-reported ‘time to answer’ stayed flat year over year.”

“The highest-performing cohort treated search as a workflow—metadata, ownership, retirement policies—not a SKU.”

Why it matters

Supports the vault-first argument: tools without conventions reproduce silos at higher resolution. Good for section 1 of blog-why-vault-first.md.

Follow-ups

• [ ] Pull primary statistics table into draft if license allows.
• [ ] Cross-link to internal note on our own search rollout (if any).
