Competitors were assessed against their public documentation and official pricing pages, verified in June 2026; features evolve and these figures are a market reference. For ACOS we separate two things: ✓ is what is deployed and usable today, measured against the code; the clock is what is committed for the fourth quarter of 2026. The score counts only the former, and leaves out pending advantages: those are capabilities no competitor has, so there is nothing to compare against.
