The Outside‑In View
Our foundational index is powered exclusively by Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). By scanning the public web, we provide an objective, standardized benchmark of corporate AI maturity. However, public signaling is only one piece of the puzzle. To capture your proprietary workflows, internal talent density, and private AI initiatives, we seamlessly integrate your first‑party data.
Complete the Picture.
Upload your internal data to bridge the gap between your public OSINT footprint and your private AI operational reality. Data can also be shared using our secure bridge. Contact hello@aideinstitute.com for access. Note that data supplied to the AIDE Institute will *not* be included in public AIDE Index scores per our methodology and cannot influence scores.

"The question for senior leaders isn't whether to invest in AI, it's where and how fast. Research like this, grounded in observable data across rather than self-reported surveys, gives executives a credible starting point for those decisions."
