The segments

## Side by side, never added together

| Segment | Drawn from | Median and spread | Scanned | Gated |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [B2B software companies](https://readinessindex.io/census/2026-Q4/software/b2b) US business-to-business software companies with 100 or more employees, as Scott King's October 2026 AI crawler access study selected them. | Scott King (thescottking.com) | **59** · 18–83 | 3053/3925 | 755 of 3053 |

There is no single figure for software. Each segment is its own population, and a combined median would be a number about whichever segment has the most sites. How the Census is run, and what it can support, is on the [methodology page](https://readinessindex.io/census/methodology).
