Nominate an Industry First

Tell us the technology, product or feature, the date it shipped, and the evidence. You can't buy a place in the record. You can ask us to validate one.

Nomination is free and starts the conversation. We confirm scope and tier before research begins.

What happens next

Over 30 days our analysts search for competing offerings and their availability dates, verify the technical claim, and where needed survey vendors and IT professionals.

If the claim holds, we publish an article and the first enters the record. If our research finds an earlier offering, we tell you what we found and why. There is no fee for a first that does not validate.
