Published as a band; the shaded band is the entry.

Because public-evidence coverage was Grade C, no precise score or ordinal position is published. Public-evidence band: Limited Visibility — the band shown records what the public record contained during the evidence window.

What this assessment is, and is not

The Index measures what a company has placed on the public record about its use of AI, within the evidence window, against a published rubric. It does not measure business performance, product quality, safety, customer outcomes, or the adequacy of internal controls. A low score on any question means that, in the public sources listed below, reviewed through the cut-off date, disclosure sufficient to satisfy the published criterion was not located. The company may maintain relevant practices or controls that are not publicly disclosed.

Evidence located

Questions on which the reviewed public sources contained disclosure meeting at least the level-2 anchor of the published rubric:

Level 3 — instances, or a disclosed number linked to a named system

  • AI leadership and organisation
  • leadership commitment and strategic response

Level 2 — disclosed; not quantified or independently verified

  • named AI platform or knowledge substrate
  • internal AI tooling in use
  • production AI autonomy
  • AI deployed across functions
  • orchestration or integration platform
  • AI talent or training figures
  • role redesign around AI
  • AI-specific investment
  • improvement trail and versioning
  • AI-native monetisation
  • position on agentic or AI-mediated exposure
  • product that could not exist before AI, with volumes

Level descriptions are those of the published rubric. The evidence annexure sent to the company lists the specific documents and passages relied on for each question.
