What's Actually Happening

AI enables hyper-personalized products (custom skincare, smart home devices) but distribution and brand trust are the real moats. P&G/Unilever/L'Oreal will integrate AI into R&D and marketing faster than startups can build distribution.

The pattern: DTC AI brands get traction on social, then get acquired.

Who wins:
Existing large players absorb the gains

Every Score Is 8 Dimensions Combined

Each industry is scored across 8 independent research dimensions, then multiplied together:

Labor & Margins × Revenue Potential × Market Sentiment × Adoption Resistance × Energy Availability × Capital Efficiency × Regulatory Environment × Competitive Dynamics

Then cascaded through 170 cross-industry relationships. Each dimension is weighted differently at each time horizon.

How We Get These Numbers

Layer 1: Structural Foundation

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.

Layer 2: Live Market Reality

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.

Layer 3: Your Scenario (Customizable in our dashboard)

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.
