AI Index Methodology

Last updated: October 2026

The AI Index is an informational indicator published for general interest. It is not a financial instrument, an investment benchmark, or a basis for trading decisions.

Our methodology is based on primary source reporting and transparent attribution. We prioritise official documents, company disclosures, court filings, regulatory notices, and direct statements over unverified summaries.

Where pricing, benchmark setup, or availability claims are incomplete, we explicitly flag the gaps and avoid implied certainty. Undisclosed assumptions are treated as part of the story.

The Index is designed to help readers understand directional movement in the AI market, model launches, and deployment impact. It should not be used as investment advice or a substitute for due diligence.

When we revise assumptions or data inputs, we do so publicly and timestamp meaningful updates.
