Category Pulse reports
In short
The Category Pulse is Techarda's monthly report on each technology category: how many stories companies published, how much technologists read and acted on, which themes rose and the launches and deals that mattered. Figures that describe people are only published when at least 5 people are behind them.
These reports are for buyers, analysts and journalists who want numbers they can check. Each one covers a single complete month, is fixed when it is issued early the following month, and comes with a CSV of its figures. How we count sets out every definition.
