The California AI Seat Board: who AI sends customers to, by trade and by area.
When a customer asks an AI assistant for the best electrician, plumber, roofer or attorney nearby, it names a few businesses and skips the rest. This board records exactly who it names in 8 California areas for 10 kinds of business, with the date and the assistant on every page.

Each run asks an AI assistant the question a customer would ask, "Who is the best electrician in Thousand Oaks?", with web search on, for every trade and every area on the board. The assistant is named on every page, the date is printed, and every answer is kept: a new run adds a new record and never edits an old one. Latest run: November 1, 2026.
Being named here is the assistant's answer, not Digilu's endorsement. Businesses are named only as the assistant named them.
