What's going on with AI in most organizations:

01

No one can see it

1 in 100

companies call their AI deployment “mature.”

Source: McKinsey, Superagency in the Workplace, 2025

Calibration Index

A single, benchmarked maturity score

The Calibration Index turns “are we actually good at this?” into a number you can track, benchmarked against the field, so maturity stops being a guess.

02

Adoption is easy. Value is the cliff.

Calibration Index

It surfaces your value gap, by team

Eighty-eight percent adopt AI; about six percent capture real value. The Index shows exactly where, and for whom, adoption stops converting into results.

03

Adoption runs an inch deep

1 in 3

mid-market firms use AI widely; expertise is the top barrier.

Source: Intuit Mailchimp, 2025

Calibration Index

It measures depth, not just usage

The Index reads how deeply AI is woven into real work, daily habit, real tasks, and how far it has spread across the team, instead of counting licenses.

04

The policy blind spot

Calibration Index

It treats policy as a first-class dimension

Most tools ignore governance entirely. The Index measures policy awareness, data handling, and oversight, surfacing risk before it becomes a breach.

A single, benchmarked read across three dimensions, scored together so one strong habit can't hide a real gap.

What a round actually asks

  • Which AI tools do you actually use?
  • How often do you use AI?
  • How much of your work runs on AI?
  • Your company's AI policy?

It reads how you actually work with AI — not what trivia you can recall. No wrong answers.
