Why 2026 Edition
Differentiator
The ROI conversation has moved from “do people use ChatGPT?” to “do your agents take actions?” We measure agentic maturity as a first-class axis.
Differentiator
Technology & Agentic and Strategy & Value carry the most weight — the dimensions that actually separate Proficient from Leader in 2026 benchmarks.
Differentiator
Every report includes a 30/60/90-day plan generated from your weakest signals, mapped to named initiatives — not generic advice.
What we measure
Each dimension contributes a different share to your overall score. Technology & Agentic carries 25% because it's the sharpest differentiator we see in real organisations.
D1
20% weightHow AI investment ties to measurable business outcomes, executive alignment, and operating-model redesign.
D2
15% weightRetrievability of institutional knowledge, data quality, protection of proprietary information, and build-vs-buy-vs-orchestrate discipline.
D3
15% weightRole-specific AI fluency across the workforce, modern tooling adoption by engineers, and workforce redesign in response to AI leverage.
D4
10% weightWhether the organization shares AI wins, rewards AI leverage in reviews, and has an explicit position on how AI changes roles.
D5
15% weightOwnership of AI governance, pre-deployment evaluation, acceptable-use policy, agentic-system risk management, and regulatory readiness.
D6
25% weightBreadth of model portfolio, production use of agents, system integration via MCP/gateways, LLMOps observability, and time-to-production for new use cases.
Scoring
Agentic workflows in production, governed model portfolio, operating-model redesign complete.
Production use cases, basic governance, role-specific fluency. Next: agents and LLMOps.
Pockets of adoption and early wins. Needs retrievable knowledge, fluency plans, AI council.
