NEW YORK, United States – 31st July 2026 – LLM Listed reported key findings from the State of AI Business Accuracy Report 2026, an independent analysis that found only 46 percent of companies received consistent recommendations across four major AI platforms and that local businesses were substantially more likely to be misrepresented by those systems.

The report, produced by LLM Listed, evaluated 250 businesses across 20 industries through manual review of platform responses to business queries. Researchers assessed business identity, products and services, founders, headquarters, pricing signals, recommendation behavior, and cross-platform consistency. The study contrasted nationally recognized brands with a randomized sample of local companies to measure differences in representation and accuracy.

Among the central findings, the report shows that just 46 percent of companies received consistent recommendations across the four platforms reviewed. The analysis found AI systems were four times more likely to misunderstand a local business than a nationally recognized organization. Businesses that lacked any deliberate optimization for AI discovery were 3.5 times more likely to be misunderstood. In addition, AI responses omitted important products or services in 28 percent of cases and confused one business for an entirely different company in 5 percent of cases.

The discrepancy between national and local businesses emerged as a primary concern in the report. Larger brands tended to benefit from broader online coverage across news outlets, directories, review sites, and industry publications, while many local companies lacked the volume of authoritative signals necessary for consistent representation by AI systems. Researchers noted that this imbalance affected the likelihood of being recommended when consumers relied on AI-driven discovery.

Ben Harper, Founder of LLM Listed, commented on the findings: “The concern isn’t simply whether a business appears. It’s whether AI actually understands the business correctly. If AI doesn’t know your specialist services, your locations, or who you’re best suited for, you may never be recommended when customers ask.”

The report also documented variability in responses from different platforms. In many instances, platforms produced divergent descriptions of the same business, differing in the products and services highlighted, competitors recommended, business positioning, stated industry specialization, and ultimate recommendation outcomes. Researchers emphasized the importance of monitoring representation across a broad set of systems rather than assuming uniformity from a single source.

Analysis of source signals indicated that companies’ own websites remained the most frequently referenced source, appearing in 40 percent of recommendation responses. A major online discussion platform appeared in 35 percent of recommendation responses, alongside references to public knowledge repositories, customer review sources, employee feedback channels, industry publications, and news articles. The study suggests that AI platforms synthesize information from a mix of proprietary and publicly available references when forming business recommendations.

The State of AI Business Accuracy Report 2026 follows earlier LLM Listed consumer research that reported high levels of trust in AI-supplied information: 97 percent of buyers trusted AI-provided information in that prior study, 85 percent had changed their decision because of an AI recommendation, and 94 percent would cease consideration of a company if AI presented negative information. Together, the reports present AI as an increasingly influential stage of the customer discovery process and document measurable differences in how businesses are represented within that stage.

UNITED KINGDOM, United Kingdom – 31st July 2026 – MT Finance today announced the launch of a probate bridging loan service and complementary inheritance advance option designed to help executors and beneficiaries manage Inheritance Tax liabilities when estates are asset-rich but cash-poor.

The new probate bridging loan service provides a type of bridging finance intended to cover Inheritance Tax liabilities that are due before probate has been granted, addressing timing pressures that arise because probate, which takes on average around 9-12 months in the UK, often precedes access to sale proceeds or other estate funds. The service is structured to be secured against property or other estate assets and to be repaid from the sale proceeds, refinance outcomes or other available estate funds once administration is complete.

MT Finance’s announcement comes against a backdrop of increasing Inheritance Tax receipts. Inheritance Tax receipts reached a record £8.2 billion during the 2024/25 tax year, reflecting a rise in the number of estates liable for tax as property values have increased and tax thresholds have remained unchanged. In this context, the company highlighted that Inheritance Tax is normally charged at 40% on the value of an estate above available allowances, a factor that can produce significant cash requirements for executors when an estate’s value exceeds the Nil Rate Band and Residence Nil Rate Band thresholds.

The product suite also includes an inheritance advance option under which specialist providers advance a portion of an expected beneficiary inheritance before probate completion. That option is described as an alternative for beneficiaries who require earlier access to funds and prefer not to place additional borrowing against the estate itself. Repayment of an inheritance advance is arranged from the beneficiary’s share once estate administration has concluded.

The announcement cites common estate threshold figures to clarify the potential scale of liabilities. For the 2025/26 tax year the standard Nil Rate Band remains £325,000 and the Residence Nil Rate Band can add up to £175,000 when a main residence passes to direct descendants, which means some estates can pass up to £500,000 tax-free or up to £1 million for a married couple or civil partners where allowances are transferred. MT Finance noted that amounts above these thresholds are subject to the Inheritance Tax rate noted above.

MT Finance framed the new service as intended to support executors who face statutory deadlines for payment to HM Revenue & Customs before access to property sale proceeds or refinancing, a situation that can leave families seeking short-term liquidity. The company positioned the probate bridging loan as one of several practical options for resolving such timing issues, alongside family-provided short-term loans, the inheritance advance product and the use of personal savings where available.

MT Finance advised that the appropriate route depends on the composition of the estate, the timing of funds, the size of the tax liability and the beneficiaries’ circumstances. The firm emphasised the interplay between probate timing and tax deadlines, noting that securing temporary funding can enable estates to progress to sale or refinance without delay.

About MT Finance

MT Finance is a specialist finance provider offering bridging loans and short-term lending products for estates, property transactions and other secured lending needs. The company works with professional advisers, executors and private clients to structure finance aligned to estate administration timelines and asset profiles. MT Finance operates within the regulatory framework applicable to secured short-term lending in the United Kingdom.

LONDON, England – 31st July 2026 – Jproperty Management today launched an operational compliance service for residential landlords adapting tenancy administration, possession workflows and property-management records following implementation of the Renters’ Rights Act 2025.

The service is available from July 29, 2026, to landlords with individual homes and multi-property portfolios in England. It can be delivered directly or coordinated with an existing letting agent responsible for tenant communication, repairs or compliance checks.

Legal Scope and Commencement

The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 received Royal Assent on October 27, 2025. Under the government’s implementation roadmap, the main tenancy reforms commenced on May 1, 2026.

Those reforms include the move of most covered private tenancies to an assured periodic model, the removal of section 21 possession notices and changes to possession grounds and rent-increase procedures.

The tenancy reforms addressed by Jproperty Management’s service apply in England. Renting law is devolved, and the company does not present these provisions as applying uniformly across the United Kingdom.

Service Components

The service begins with a review of each landlord’s current documents and administrative processes. Jproperty Management then creates an action register covering relevant gaps and deadlines.

Core components include:

• Reviews of tenancy agreements and associated documents
• Updated notice and tenant-communication templates
• Structured logs for repairs, inspections and tenancy decisions
• Maintenance scheduling and response procedures
• Possession workflow checks against applicable notice requirements
• Agent handoff procedures for tenant liaison and repair coordination
• Recurring reviews to reflect later commencement stages or updated official guidance

The service is designed to help landlords establish consistent processes aligned with the rules of the Renters’ Rights Act. It does not guarantee compliance, successful possession proceedings or any other legal outcome.

“The move to periodic tenancies and the revised possession framework place greater importance on accurate records and repeatable administrative processes,” said a Jproperty Management spokesperson. “This service brings agreement reviews, notices, repair records and agent coordination into one documented workflow so landlords can identify where specialist advice may be required.”

Evidence and Service Limitations

Jproperty Management has omitted unlinked market-wide assertions from its launch announcement. Research from the National Residential Landlords Association and commentary published by Claims Bible are not presented as evidence for quantified conclusions because no specific report titles, publication dates or methods are cited here.

The service instead uses the enacted legislation, commencement regulations and published government guidance as its primary reference materials. Any future guidance changes will be addressed through scheduled process reviews.

Jproperty Management provides operational administration and compliance support. The service does not constitute legal advice, regulated financial advice or tax advice. Landlords requiring an interpretation of legislation, representation in possession proceedings or advice about financial decisions should consult an appropriately qualified independent adviser.

About Jproperty Management Jproperty Management is a UK-based property-management firm providing tenancy administration, maintenance coordination and operational compliance support for residential landlords. It works with individual landlords, multi-property portfolios, letting agents and independent advisers to improve record keeping, tenant communication and property upkeep.

NEW YORK, New York – 31st July 2026 – Bright Security today announced updates to its STAR platform that connect dynamic application scanning, runtime validation, remediation guidance, and post-remediation checks within software development pipelines.

The update is intended to help development and security teams evaluate running web applications and APIs throughout the development lifecycle. STAR uses dynamic application security testing to interact with deployed applications and identify behavior that may expose an exploitable application-layer vulnerability.

Updated STAR Workflow

Bright Security identified the following areas of enhancement:

• Pipeline-based scanning: STAR can be configured to run against production-like application instances as part of build and deployment workflows.
• Runtime validation: Findings are checked against the running application to determine whether the associated behavior can be reproduced.
• Application and API coverage: Scans evaluate web interfaces, APIs, authentication flows, and supported business processes.
• Remediation support: Findings can include contextual guidance for development teams and can be routed through existing engineering workflows.
• Post-remediation checks: Relevant tests can be run again after a code change to confirm whether the observed runtime behavior has been addressed.
• Code-origin independence: The workflow evaluates application behavior regardless of whether the underlying code was written by a person or generated with an AI development tool.

The platform’s continuous DAST security capabilities complement code analysis by examining how an application responds while running. Bright Security said this runtime approach is intended to provide development teams with reproducible evidence and application context rather than relying solely on source-code indicators.

“The practical goal is to give development and security teams evidence they can reproduce before a release, then help them confirm that a correction changed the application’s runtime behavior,” said Gadi Bashvitz, chief executive officer of Bright Security. “That keeps the workflow centered on the running application and gives teams a clearer basis for prioritization.”

AI Application Security

The STAR update applies the same runtime testing process to applications containing human-authored or AI application security. This approach recognizes that code origin alone does not establish whether a vulnerability is reachable or exploitable in a deployed environment.

Bright Security is not publishing numerical performance claims or comparative benchmark results with this announcement. Outcomes may vary according to application architecture, scan configuration, authentication coverage, pipeline design, and the vulnerabilities under review.

Availability and Deployment Information

Bright Security announced the platform update on July 30, 2026. A general rollout schedule, edition-specific eligibility, pricing changes, and any additional deployment requirements were not detailed in this release. Current and prospective customers can request information relevant to their environments through Bright Security or by contacting support@brightsec.com.

About Bright Security Bright Security provides application security technology focused on dynamic testing of running web applications and APIs. Its STAR platform integrates scanning, runtime validation, remediation guidance, and post-remediation checks with development workflows. The platform is designed for continuous delivery environments and supports the evaluation of applications containing both human-authored and AI-generated code.

International Built Environment Advisory Consultancy launches Adaptive Reuse Feasibility Review to help developers, architecture practices, and construction teams test conversion viability before costly design and delivery decisions are made.

Denver, Colorado, USA – 30th July 2026 – BuiltUpEngg, an international Built Environment Advisory Consultancy, has announced the launch of its Adaptive Reuse Feasibility Review, a specialist advisory service designed to help project teams assess whether office-to-residential, mixed-use, and regeneration schemes are commercially, technically, and operationally viable before significant capital is committed.

The launch comes as US cities continue to explore office-to-residential conversion as a response to persistent office vacancies, housing shortages, and pressure to revitalise urban centres. While adaptive reuse can unlock major value from underused buildings, BuiltUpEngg warns that not every vacant office building is a suitable housing opportunity.

The company says the next phase of adaptive reuse will require more disciplined front-end assessment, particularly around building suitability, planning constraints, market demand, structural risk, cost assumptions, stakeholder alignment, and delivery sequencing.

“Adaptive reuse is one of the most important built environment opportunities of the decade, but it cannot be treated as a shortcut,” said Hector Renshaw, representative of BuiltUpEngg. “The key question is not simply whether an office building can be converted. It is whether it should be converted, for whom, at what cost, under what planning conditions, and with which delivery risks already understood.”

BuiltUpEngg’s Adaptive Reuse Feasibility Review is designed for architectural practices, developers, construction firms, investors, and public-sector project teams considering conversion or regeneration opportunities. The service helps clients test assumptions early, identify critical risks, and determine whether a project has a credible route from concept to delivery.

The review can include market and demand research, local context analysis, building-use suitability, planning and permitting considerations, comparable scheme benchmarking, stakeholder mapping, cost and programme risk review, and strategic recommendations for the next stage of development.

According to BuiltUpEngg, many adaptive reuse schemes face difficulty not because the original idea is weak, but because major constraints are discovered too late. These can include inefficient floorplates, limited natural light, complex building services, structural limitations, code compliance issues, unclear end-user demand, and underestimated construction complexity.

“Office-to-residential conversion is often presented as an elegant answer to two problems at once: empty offices and housing demand,” added Renshaw. “But buildings are not spreadsheets. They have cores, columns, services, exit requirements, ownership structures, planning histories, and local market realities. If those factors are not tested early, the project can become far more expensive and uncertain than expected.”

BuiltUpEngg believes that stronger early-stage feasibility work can help the industry avoid wasted design effort, reduce late-stage redesign, improve investor confidence, and support more credible conversations with public authorities, communities, and delivery partners.

The company’s advisory model is built around the front end of complex built environment projects, where early decisions have a disproportionate impact on cost, risk, and delivery outcomes. BuiltUpEngg supports clients through ideation, project feasibility, market research, strategic planning, and project management support.

“Adaptive reuse should remain a major part of the urban development conversation,” said Renshaw. “But the sector needs a more honest way to separate viable conversion opportunities from buildings that are politically attractive but commercially or technically fragile. That is where rigorous front-end feasibility advisory can add real value.”

The Adaptive Reuse Feasibility Review is now available to clients evaluating US and international conversion, mixed-use, regeneration, and redevelopment opportunities.

Tbilisi, Georgia – 30th July 2026 – SHU Wedding announced the launch of an Express Marriage Registration service designed to enable international couples to complete legally recognized marriage registration in Georgia within one to two days when required documentation and entry conditions are met.

The new service centralizes legal and administrative tasks that most commonly delay overseas marriages, including document review, certified notarized translations, remote submission of the marriage application and advance scheduling of registration appointments with the Public Service Hall or other approved venues. SHU Wedding intends the package to reduce the interval between arrival and issuance of an official marriage certificate by preparing and coordinating all necessary steps before a couple travels.

Processing and recognition timelines vary significantly by destination; in some countries the entire procedure can be completed in a few days, while in others it may take several months. The Express Marriage Registration service addresses the principal variables that affect timing: completeness and legalization of documents, entry and visa requirements, availability of certified translations, and the need for witnesses. Services within the package include verification of passports and supporting documents, arrangement of notarized translations into the official language, coordination of registrations with relevant authorities, and provision of legally required witnesses when couples travel without guests.

SHU Wedding will also manage post-ceremony formalities that municipalities and foreign authorities commonly require for cross-border recognition. After a legal ceremony, the agency submits the marriage certificate for an apostille or consular legalization through an expedited channel typically completed within one to three business days. When requested, finalized documents can be dispatched internationally by courier to the addresses specified by the clients, enabling completion of recognition procedures in the couple’s home country without additional in-country delay.

The offering is grounded in the operational experience of the experts at Shu Wedding, who have organized legally recognized weddings in Georgia for more than seven years and have assisted hundreds of couples from a range of nationalities. That experience informs both the document checklists used prior to travel and the scheduling protocols that secure registration slots ahead of arrival. For couples evaluating destinations, the firm references comparative material titled Top 7 Easiest Countries for Foreigners to Get Married in 2026, which summarizes registration timelines, document requirements, costs and convenience factors across common choices for international weddings.

The new Express Marriage Registration service is intended to be appropriate for couples who require a compact travel window and seek to minimize administrative uncertainty. It is structured to reduce the risk of postponed wedding dates caused by missing or incorrectly certified paperwork, changing entry rules, or unexpected local requirements. In Georgia specifically, SHU Wedding notes that an official marriage can frequently be registered within 24 hours when paperwork and entry conditions are in order, and that coordinated pre-arrival preparation can often make a short trip sufficient to complete both ceremony and legalization.

About SHU Wedding

SHU Wedding is a wedding agency that specializes in legally recognized marriages for international couples in Georgia. The agency has organized legal registration and ceremony services for international clients for more than seven years and has assisted hundreds of couples with documentation, translation, registration appointments and post-ceremony legalization services. SHU Wedding provides coordination services intended to align local administrative procedures with the legal recognition needs of foreign nationals.

SAN FRANCISCO, California. – FitBudd announced recurring 1:1 appointment scheduling, a calendar update that lets coaches schedule a series of ongoing client sessions from a single booking.

The feature is live in the FitBudd coaching platform and is designed for coaches and clients who meet on a consistent schedule.

How Recurring Scheduling Works

When creating a 1:1 appointment, coaches can define a recurring cadence. FitBudd then adds the scheduled occurrences to the calendar without requiring each appointment to be entered separately.

The update supports:

• Weekly appointments
• Biweekly appointments
• Other recurring cadences aligned with a coaching arrangement
• Automatic placement of scheduled occurrences on the coach’s calendar

For example, a coach can create a Tuesday appointment for a client and apply a weekly recurrence rather than entering a separate booking each week.

Part of FitBudd’s Administrative Toolset

Recurring scheduling extends FitBudd’s approach to handling routine operational workflows within the platform. Its SmartFlow automation feature supports scheduled client touchpoints, including onboarding sequences and check-ins, while the new calendar capability applies recurring rules to 1:1 appointments.

The intended benefit is to reduce repeated calendar entries. FitBudd has not published usage data quantifying time savings from the feature.

Information about eligible plans, pricing, calendar availability, appointment changes, and cancellation controls can be requested through FitBudd’s media contact or reviewed at www.fitbudd.com.

Media resources and company updates are also available on LinkedIn and Facebook.

NEW YORK, New York – 30th July 2026 – Leading Social Media Shop, SocialWick today released a report that creators with 5,000 to 25,000 followers had a lower average cost per engagement than macro creators among more than 150 sponsored local and regional campaigns reviewed.

The analysis covered campaigns on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. SocialWick reported an average cost per engagement of $0.39 for creators with 5,000 to 25,000 followers and $1.23 for macro creators in the reviewed sample.

These figures are descriptive averages reported by SocialWick. They should not be interpreted as benchmarks for all local campaigns because campaign-level records, creator counts by tier, and significance testing were not included in the materials supplied for this release.

Reported Findings

SocialWick attributed the difference in its sample to two observed factors: higher engagement rates relative to follower counts among smaller creators and lower posting fees.

The reported pattern appeared across the three platforms included in the review. SocialWick also reported that differences were most apparent in campaigns involving neighborhood restaurants, regional retailers, and local service businesses.

The analysis indicated that geographic alignment and audience relevance were associated with campaign performance. It also cautioned that follower count alone was not sufficient for creator selection and that engagement quality and audience location should be assessed before campaign commitments are made.

Tracey Fletcher, Content Team Lead at SocialWick, said the findings apply only to the campaigns reviewed and should be evaluated alongside each advertiser’s service area, campaign objective, and audience requirements.

Methodology and Limitations

The materials provided by SocialWick disclosed the following:

• Sample: More than 150 sponsored campaigns; an exact campaign count was not provided.
• Platforms: Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
• Advertiser scope: Brands described as having local or regional operating footprints.
• Smaller-creator tier: 5,000 to 25,000 followers.
• Macro-creator tier: The minimum and maximum follower thresholds were not specified.
• Comparison: Local promotions described by SocialWick as comparable.
• Cost measure: Posting fees were assessed against reported engagement outcomes to calculate cost per engagement.
• Study period: Not specified in the supplied materials.
• Geographic coverage: Specific markets and campaign counts by market were not supplied.
• Industry breakdown: Campaign counts by category were not supplied.
• Platform breakdown: Campaign counts and average results by platform were not supplied.
• Engagement definition: The specific actions counted as engagements were not identified.
• Campaign inclusion criteria: Requirements beyond sponsorship and a local or regional focus were not detailed.
• Paid amplification: Its inclusion or exclusion was not stated.
• Weighting and significance: The materials did not state whether averages were weighted or whether significance testing was performed.

Because these details remain unavailable, the reported averages cannot be independently reproduced from the information accompanying this release. No public campaign-level dataset or complete research report was provided. Journalists and researchers may request additional methods tables and anonymized supporting records through the media contact below.
