The AI Atlas: 1,226 businesses measured in Spain's lit provinces, and how to get on it by name

On 5 November 2026 the AI Atlas counts 1,226 businesses measured in Spain's lit provinces and 1,106 in Italy's. It is Mador's public map: every lit province has businesses for which the assistants were asked the questions a local customer would ask, and Mador looked at whom they named. In Spain the most measured province is Santa Cruz de Tenerife, with 542 businesses. In Italy it is Milan, with 314.

For now the map shows only numbers. No names and no results, on purpose.

Why there are no names

A business appears on the Atlas only if it asked to. And a province with fewer than 5 businesses measured is grey, with no number, because in a small place even a count can say who was measured. In Italy 39 provinces have measured businesses: 6 are lit and 33 are grey, measured but with fewer than 5 businesses.

How to get on it

It starts with the free scan, which asks ChatGPT and Perplexity whom they recommend in the area and returns the result in a few minutes. On the report, after leaving an email, there is a box: whoever ticks it states they can decide for the business. An email arrives with a confirmation link, valid for 7 days: it opens a page with a button, and the yes only counts once that button is pressed.

Names appear on the map once at least 50 businesses have confirmed, so the map does not open with three lonely dots. The same yes covers the Mador Index. It can be withdrawn at any time, in three ways: from the report, from the link in the email, or from the account area for those on a plan.

A place on the Atlas cannot be bought. A business is there because it was measured and said yes, not because it paid.

The giving part

Mador has decided on a giving part tied to the Atlas, and it is not active yet. It will work like this: 10% of the first net payment of a Monitor or Growth plan will go to an association in the customer's province, with a public counter per province. It is Mador's money, not a fundraiser: nobody is asked to donate, and if a payment is refunded its share is cancelled. It starts once the tax checks are done.

What it means if you run a business

The map shows where Mador has already looked. For a dentist or an agency in a lit province, it means the questions their customers ask have already been put to the assistants, and finding out who gets named in their place is one scan away.

What cannot be said

The Atlas counts measured businesses, it does not say how they did. A province with many dots is not a province where the AI recommends more: it is a province where Mador has measured more. The counts change every day, and these are the ones from 5 November 2026.
