What Is a Leaders Matrix?

A Leaders Matrix is an interactive graph that shows how service providers compare against each other in a particular market or location, such as app development companies or app developers in New York.

A Clutch Leaders Matrix maps service providers with the highest Clutch Rank in an individual market. Leaders Matrices are interactive graphs that show where companies fall across four quadrants:

      • Market Leaders (top right)
      • Proven Leaders (top left)
      • Niche Leaders (bottom right)
      • Emerging Leaders (bottom left)
