The menu, channel and builder counts cover the 11 sites the scanner could read; the AI crawler counts cover all 12 scanned sites. Each uses the latest scan. The listings come from OpenStreetMap. Businesses without their own website are counted but not scanned. Another 2 have an address that no longer answers (dead domain, bad certificate or server down). They're counted with the businesses that have no website and left out of the ranking.
