Every business measured, most recent first, with the score it was given. New rows appear at the top as assessments are completed. The shares above are counted from these rows, so they are not an estimate. Names, companies and contact details never appear here. A score of 0 means a business scored at the lowest level on all six dimensions, which is a real starting point rather than a missing answer.

- Sector
- The industry the business told us it works in.
- Size
- How many people work there, grouped into bands so no single business can be picked out: Under 25 people, 25 to 100, 100+.
- Index
- The Integration Index score out of 100, built from the six dimensions of the method. A score of 0 is a real result, not a missing one. It means the business answered at the lowest level on all six dimensions: no AI in regular use, nothing measured, no rules in place. Every row here has been scored, so a business with nothing in place yet sits at the bottom of the scale rather than being left out.
- Stage
- The band that score falls into, shown as a ladder of four marks. One mark filled isExplorer, 0 to 29, trying tools with little measurement of impact. Two is Implementer, 30 to 59, AI working in a few places. Three is Integrator, 60 to 79, AI built into how work runs. Four is Transformer, 80 to 100, AI as a core business lever. The darker and fuller the marks, the further along the business is.
