Find the knowledge stack that should come next

What this quiz scores

These are the live inputs. A published score is 0–100 against a perfect match for your answers. Affiliate links are not an input.

1. 1. What are you replacing? We will not recommend the wiki, drive, or knowledge tool you are already trying to leave.
2. 2. How big is the team that will live in it? A founder dumping notes and an enterprise intranet fail in opposite ways.
3. 3. What is the job this system has to do? Pick the work that would make you open it every day — wiki, AI search, enablement, docs, or a structured database.
4. 4. Where does knowledge actually live today? A wiki, a file dump, and answers scattered across Slack are different products wearing the same “knowledge” label.
5. 5. How should this connect to the inbox / workspace? A knowledge stack that cannot see where people already work becomes a second graveyard.
6. 6. How much should AI do in knowledge? This is a hard filter if you say dealbreaker. We score AI-nativeness, not a copilot bolted onto stale pages.
7. 7. When does it need to be live? Implementation speed is a scored attribute. An enterprise intranet loses if you need this week.
8. 8. What is the monthly budget, roughly? List prices are starting points. Enterprise search and enablement quotes are treated as unconstrained.
9. 9. Do you need a free plan to start? A free plan is a hard filter. A trial is not the same thing.
10. 10. What does this have to talk to? Open APIs and marketplaces are catalog flags — not a paid boost.
11. 11. Where does the data need to live? Self-host and compliance are hard filters when you require them.
12. 12. Any single feature that is a dealbreaker? If you pick one, products without it are removed before scoring.
