What do you call application modules that are responsible for business logic? (programming.dev)

Somewhere between API resources, queue workers, repositories, clients and serializers there is a class of ... classes/modules that does the needful. Gun-to-my-head, I would call them "services" but I'm looking for a less overloaded term. Maybe capabilities? Controllers? Pick a term from the business domain? What do you call them?

In respect to sitting above the API layer and turning DTO's to/from Domain Object's, I'd call them "Brokers".

"broker" as a service-between-services is a great name
