The Metric

In Depth

One number.
Engineered to be trusted.

The Entity Intelligence Quotient™, the enterprise AI score, renders the entire AI landscape as a single defensible number on the scale everyone already understands: 40 to 160, where 100 is the industry average. Comparable across quarters, comparable across peers, and owned by an officer that shows its work. Sibling metric to Unity Score™, the one-number discipline pioneered by Nexus™.

WHAT THE OFFICER FLAGS FIRST


Governance at 58 is the officer's first flag: twenty percent of the score, and the cheapest points on the board. Nothing else moves until the decisions are on the record.


STAGE ONE


Stage one maps the model inventory and stands up decision logging before a dollar goes to new tooling.
