Mr Lomas asked Ms Gupta about a Gartner report of July 2021, entitled “Magic Quadrant for Multiexperience Development Platforms”. It says that its research focuses on 13 multi-experience development platforms (“MXDPs”) available “from vendors who are able to execute and have the vision to meet the demands of the market”.

Ms Gupta said that she had contributed to the production of that report by answering a number of questions posed of her by Gartner in March 2021, and said that the report was a roughly accurate description of the Claimant’s position in the first half of 2021. The Gartner report describes the Claimant as “…a Visionary… its MXDP product builds on common components seen in applications and uses AI and machines to assemble components and quickly build new applications… Builder.ai’s operations are mainly focussed on APAC and the US with expansion to Europe and the Middle East”. Ms Gupta also accepted as accurate Gartner’s description of the Claimant: “Overall viability. Builder.ai is a new entrant to the market and is relatively small”, but said that had to be considered in its context, which is that it was being compared to companies such as Salesforce which were multibillion dollar corporations.
