Whether Gartner, the American Heart Association, or JD Powers, it's pay 
for play. There is no way, unless the process is completely exposed, to 
ascertain a correlation between pay and win--> but I assure you, there's 
a link as strong as f(x).

The Magic Quadrant racket is especially galling and subjective, and if 
you're not paying Gartner to understand your organization, then you're 
unlikely to have much movement. Only very rarely will a non-payer move 
in a quadrant.

And therefore, the veracity of all three herein mentioned aren't worth 
doodley.
