    THE PYRAMIDTM is generated through the rigorous data analysis and expert validation of The Aquarium™ by Lionfish Tech Advisors.

    To generate THE PYRAMIDTM, The Aquarium aggregates, normalizes, and weights data from 52 metrics across six major categories:

    • Market Presence
    • Sales
    • Customer Experience
    • Product Functionality
    • Innovation
    • Company

    Market-specific metrics are used in addition to the standard metrics.

    The model converts the weighted results across two indices — Performance and Strategic — to determine placement on THE PYRAMIDTM for a consistent, data-backed view of vendor position and progress over time.
