How AI sees Katana

Katana fills lists in manufacturing ERP but rarely closes.

Where it wins. In Manufacturing ERP, Katana reaches a 35% mention rate and ranks third of fifteen, its ceiling and only meaningful foothold across both categories measured.

Where it loses. Food and Beverage Manufacturing exposes the floor: a 2.8% first-pick rate and rank ninth tells you the AI models treat Katana as a small-team fallback there, and the Enterprise pick theme is missing in both categories, cutting it out of higher-value purchase conversations entirely.
