Mobile & food truck
POS designed for a single mobile operator: runs on a phone or tablet with no fixed terminal requirement, tolerates intermittent connectivity, and is sold with no contract and no location minimum.

The parity floor is the set of capabilities at least half this group’s assessed members ship — what a buyer here can take for granted. Whitespace is the set fewer than a third ship. Both are computed only over claims in scope for this group and only over members with an assessed value, so a specialist is never penalised for a capability its buyers do not want, and a vendor that publishes nothing does not drag the floor down.
There is no composite score and no ranking. The moment one number exists, that number becomes the report.
