What we measure
Six dimensions. No vanity metrics.
◈
Product
How deeply AI is embedded in what you ship, from features to core value proposition.
⟳
Operations
Whether AI is changing how your team actually works, or still just a tab in Chrome.
▦
Data
Your data moat, or gap. Proprietary data compounds. Generic data doesn't.
⚡
Engineering
How fast your team ships AI, the real signal of whether it's a priority or a project.
◻
Organisation
Whether AI is reshaping your hiring, headcount, and structure, or leaving them untouched.
↗
Market
How your customers and competitors are responding. Perception is a leading indicator.
The four stages
Where does your company sit?
Most software companies are still Pre-shift. The gap is widening fast. Taking the index is the first step to knowing where you actually stand.
Pre-shift
AI is on the roadmap, not in the product. The clock is running.
0–25%
Early mover
Experimenting, but not yet compounding. Needs a clearer strategy across dimensions.
26–50%
Transformer
AI is reshaping operations and product. The challenge is coordination and depth.
51–75%
Frontier builder
At the edge. Defining what AI-native looks like in your category.
76–100%
