Counter-intuitive
Findings that contradict vendor narrative or operator intuition.
What this lens looks for
Vendors and analysts converge on a story. The numbers, the named buyers, or the operating reality often tell a different one. This lens flags the gap.
When we apply it
- An announcement frames a metric as a win; the underlying data measures something else
- A “consensus” pattern across vendor decks does not survive a check of named buyers
- A widely-cited finding is downstream of selection bias, survivorship effects, or definition drift
What the verdict looks like
Articles through this lens name the prevailing story, name the contradicting evidence, and name the source we trust more (and why).
