Industry index
Compare how AI adoption is moving across sectors. Momentum ranks recent and accelerating deployments ahead of raw historical volume.
Ranked by momentum index (recent acceleration over last 6 months) · higher is better
Momentum is a 0–100 score that rewards recent, accelerating activity over raw history. It blends how many cases were added in the last 6 months with how much that has sped up versus the prior 6 months, so a fast-rising topic outranks one with high all-time volume but flat recent activity. Bars share one baseline across industries and their sub-industries, so a sub-industry compares directly against any industry. Momentum and innovativeness are indices and averages, not totals, so a parent bar is not the sum of its children.
Patterns by industry
Compare reusable AI applications by source-linked deployment evidence or recent, accelerating momentum.
