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™.

How The Score Works

From signal to boardroom

in five steps.

STEP 01

Signals in

The officer aggregates every AI signal across the enterprise: vendors, models, initiatives, spend, incidents.

STEP 02

Six dimensions

Each signal lands in one of six dimensions, each powered by its engine, each scored on its own evidence.

STEP 03

One computation

Weighted computation produces the EIQ Score™: one defensible number on the 40 to 160 scale.

STEP 04

Band placement

The number places the enterprise in one of six bands, from Critical to Elite. 100 is average, and average is failing.

STEP 05

Board report

Reported through the dashboard, governed by Aegis™ (in active development): every number carries its evidence trail.

The loop runs continuously, not annually. The score is alive: it moves when the enterprise moves.

Critical

below 70

Enterprise AI is a liability. Spend without strategy, exposure without governance.

THE MOVE

Stop the bleeding: inventory every model and tool, log every decision, freeze ungoverned spend.

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.

Continuous cadence

Computed continuously and delivered board-ready: score, dimension movement, and the verdicts behind both. The dashboard is the window; the algorithm is the officer.

Fees tied to the score

Engagement fees are aligned to EIQ Score™ growth. When the number rises, we both win; success-based from the first assessment, with every assessment dollar credited forward.
