Pick any two infra vendors to see a fresh head-to-head.

Methodology: Hosts, Pancakes, and Market Share count public host_stack declarations for published hosts only — the same scope the Pancake Score leaderboard and vendor dashboards use. Stack Layer Presence reflects the product catalog, not adoption. Shared/Exclusive Customers are drawn from the same public declarations.
