Evidence boundaries
Organisation listings identify a reviewed canonical record. Model listings show an association in the source register; they do not by themselves establish model creation, current API availability, hosting location or infrastructure ownership.
Profile note
The UK's most politically embedded AI services firm: NHS data work, UK government contracts, and model-safety evaluation work with the UK AI Security Institute alongside OpenAI and Anthropic. Its published DSIT contract values are among the very few hard, verifiable prices attached to any UK AI-safety work, so they are recorded in the pricing block even though they are contract awards rather than list prices. OWNERSHIP CHANGE: Accenture agreed to acquire Faculty in January 2026 — after close it is US-owned, so its status as an independent UK lab is ending.
