What the score
actually measures.
The Index measures how maturely companies discuss AI in their annual reports — not how AI-advanced they are. Two signals combine into one score.
Breadth
We scan each annual report against 18 categories of AI maturity: machine learning and deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics and process automation, data infrastructure, AI cloud services, AI strategy, innovation capability, digital transformation, organisational readiness, customer experience AI, supply chain intelligence, risk management, operational excellence, governance and leadership, talent and skills, ethics and regulation, and measurement of AI outcomes.
A category scores 1 if it appears meaningfully anywhere in the report. The breadth score is a count: how many of the 18 does this company actually address?
This is the coverage signal — it answers: does this company have a view on AI across the business, or only in one corner?
Quality
We maintain a reference corpus of annual reports from organisations recognised as leaders in AI fluency: NVIDIA, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, Salesforce, Amazon, Netflix, Visa, BlackRock, JPMorgan, Palantir, Siemens, SAP, and four others.
For each WIG140 company, we measure how close the language of its AI-relevant disclosures is to that reference corpus. A company that discusses AI the way Netflix discusses AI scores higher than one that drops the word into a single paragraph of boilerplate.
This is the quality signal — it answers: does this company's AI language reflect genuine strategic thinking, or compliance-driven box-ticking?
