    What this map will answer for Code & Developer Tools

    The Supply Chain of Intelligence™ places every AI company at the layer(s) where it structurally lives, so you can see who is defensible, who gets absorbed by a platform below them, and where the whitespace is. This is the scaffold the Code & Developer Tools map is being built against. Three verticals are live today (Legal, WealthTech, Sales Tech); Code & Developer Tools is queued behind them and follows the same 10 × 5 discipline — no fake density, no filler cells.
