Footnote defines service providers as consultants, hardware support, implementation and outsourcing, which is Gartner's 'security services' segment. Gartner (July 2025) puts 2025 security services end-user spending at $83.8 bn. Error (101.5-83.8)/83.8 = +21% -> partial. Slide sources list McKinsey Cyber Market Map among others and do not attribute the figure to a third-party forecaster, so it is graded as McKinsey's. Only one public estimate on this definition found.
Test: D16 numeric rule: within 10% of actual 2025 worldwide security-services spending = hit, within 25% = partial.
Grader B: partial
The slide's footnote defines service providers as consultants, hardware support, implementation and outsourcing, which matches Gartner's 'security services' segment. The figure is not attributed to a third party on the slide (sources list CSIS, IBM, ITRC, Kaspersky, NCSC, PurpleSec, Statista, McKinsey Cyber Market Map, MGI), so it is graded. Gartner's July 2025 forecast puts 2025 security services at $83.8 billion (2024: $77.1 billion). Error (101.5-83.8)/83.8 = +21% -> within 25% -> partial. Definition match is close but not certain.
Test: Worldwide security-services spending in 2025 within 10% (hit) / 25% (partial) of $101.5 billion (D16 numeric, level).
