# 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).
