How this executive brief is measured

Concentration compares this view's share of source-linked deployments for a use-case type with that type's share across the full catalog. Momentum is a peer-relative 0-100 score based on recent deployment volume, acceleration, recent evidence share, and evidence depth. Quantified outcome medians appear only when at least 4 reported metrics support them; smaller supported samples are marked early evidence.

How this is measured

This compares published, source-linked deployment evidence, not total national AI investment. Rankings use one shared country benchmark dataset: 86 observed countries for volume and momentum, and up to 39 countries with at least 10 cases for rate comparisons. Industry differences compare the current country case mix with the current global case mix.
