Providers tracked
Vendor claims, audited not amplified.
Vendors and model labs whose public claims affect enterprise buying decisions. Each profile starts with a vendor claim check (the biggest public claim, source strength, and audit read), then the company profile below. The intent is vendor-claim audit, not vendor discovery.

Data and AI platform. Tracked for workload-level benchmarks on frontier models that feed cost-to-serve reads.
Unaudited Audit pending Evidence T2 -

Professional services firm. Both a buyer (its own CFO function on OpenAI) and a distributor of frontier AI to clients (Anthropic alliance, OpenAI collaboration). Tracked across both sides because the buyer evidence and the distribution evidence live in the same announcements.
