  "description": "Per-category share of the software tools detectable on a self-crawl of Irish business homepages, fingerprinted with the Wappalyzer open-source engine. Website technographics, not a survey: shares are of DETECTED installs (detected_sites), not of the crawl base (crawl_base = n, every site crawled). Quarterly, append-only, no LLM in the data path. See the companion Eurostat survey at https://vendors.ie/reference/irish-software-adoption for official adoption statistics.",

  "method": "Wappalyzer OSS (wappalyzer-core) fingerprinting, homepage only, no headless browser/JS execution; primary tool per site per category; shares of detected installs sum to ~100% per category by construction.",
