Two workflows. (1) Pattern matching: when scouting acquisition targets, the 6-deal history above is a published reference for what ServiceNow actually buys — useful for triangulating "would they buy this?" judgments. (2) Sector overlap: the focus-sectors mapping connects ServiceNow's historical M&A pattern to the engineering-signal panel we publish, so analysts can correlate acquisition pace with sector-level signal acceleration.
