Our indices
Understand organisations. Hear from their people.
Our indices help partners understand the organisations and people they support. The current range covers AI adoption, AI governance and personal AI experience, with further indices to follow.
Organisation indices are answered by people who know how the organisation works, leadership included. Personal indices capture people’s own experience. Read together, they show what either view alone would miss.
Our indices and their state
| Index | What it measures | State |
|---|---|---|
| The AI Adoption Index | The organisation’s readiness for AI and its use in practice, as reported by the people who answer for it. Readiness and Use are each measured from 0 to 100. | Research beta · v0.3.1 |
| The AI Governance Index | The organisation’s reported arrangements for AI direction, guardrails and accountability. A starting point for exploring how governance works in practice. | Research beta · v0.2 |
| The Personal AI Index | How people use AI in their own work, and how carefully. Each person gets their own result and can ask for an AI report on it, neither shown to their employer. How to take part | Research beta · v0.4 |
An organisation sees its people’s combined result on the Personal AI Index only once six or more people have taken part, and never anyone’s individual result. The organisation and personal indices are different views, not interchangeable scores.
Research beta means questions are still being tested. Every result carries its status and version; custom indices benefit from the same research programme.
What a participant gets
Findings to understand. Context to act on.
Participants get their own findings and the areas to look at next. On the Personal AI Index each person gets their own result and can ask for an AI report on it. The free organisation report combines index data with AI analysis informed by the organisation’s business profile.
