Product coverage comparison

Compares how two or more products cover a set of business capabilities, with overlaps, gaps and the catalog's maturity and confidence.

What you get

A capability-by-product table, then the gaps nobody covers and the overlaps where two products both claim strength.

How I use it

  • Written for the Blueprint Catalog, my free capability catalog; every path, tool and id it names is checked against each catalog build.
  • Low confidence is treated as a lead to check with the vendor, not a fact.
  • build vs buy
  • consolidation
  • vendor shortlist
  • rationalization
