86% of health systems now using AI — past the tipping point. HCA deployed Google Cloud ambient AI across 188 hospitals; GE Healthcare CareIntellect for perinatal care (7-11% maternal mortality reduction).
Admin AI deploying ahead of clinical: 72% prioritize AI for revenue cycle, $20B annual denial costs forcing adoption. The pattern: admin AI first (documentation, billing, scheduling), clinical AI second (decision support, monitoring).
Physical care remains human; administrative healthcare gets gutted.

Each industry is scored across 8 independent research dimensions, then multiplied together:
Then cascaded through 170 cross-industry relationships. Each dimension is weighted differently at each time horizon.
9 research-grade knowledge bases built from earnings calls, patent filings, regulatory documents, and industry reports. 170 mapped cross-industry relationships. Continuously maintained and recalibrated — 6 calibration rounds to date.
Refreshed with every major development. Real deployment numbers, quarterly earnings data, regulatory shifts (EU AI Act, export controls), and macro conditions like the energy bottleneck. Not a static model — a living one.
This report uses: Base case AI development pace and Current trajectory energy trajectory. Members can adjust both and see how scores change in real time.
