## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a PE firm, operating partner, or portfolio management agent needs to benchmark software/technology spend for portfolio companies against industry medians, identify consolidation opportunities, or support due diligence and value creation planning. Prefer this over generic SaaS spend surveys when you need PE-specific composite benchmarks with cryptographic auditability.
