Methodology
We compile AI-native services firms (companies that sell a finished service such as legal work, bookkeeping or insurance broking, delivered with AI) from public sources: company websites, funding announcements, trade press and investor market maps. Each profile lists its sources. Fields are filled only when a source states them; blanks mean unknown, not zero. Voice, audio and contact-center companies are out of scope. Snapshot date: 16 October 2026. 165 of 170 profiles have a website, 89 a headquarters, 27 a business model and 22 a sourced funding figure, so the headquarters and business-model charts describe only the firms that disclose them.
