What's different about Manufacturing

Manufacturing companies lead with AI less often than the batch average (42.3% vs 60.7%). Fewer of them show pricing (0.0% vs 18.0%), which fits a sales-led motion. Next.js is the dominant stack at 42.3%; the top call to action is "Talk to sales/us" (23.1% of sites). The most-used typeface is Inter (9 sites).
