Reading the radar

Each sector is an industry. Dots are mapped AI uses; their colors identify a shared ability. Farther from the center means the industry’s mapped uses are more established.

The evolution idea

Abilities adapt to different kinds of work, much as traits become useful in different environments. This radar visualizes that reuse. It is an explanatory model, not a biological simulation. The sweep is visual motion, not a feed of new events.

How established is it?

Stages are editorial assessments of tools, deployments, and surveys, not adoption percentages. All three uses within a sector share that sector’s assessment; distance is ordinal, not a numeric score. Tasks, businesses, and countries vary. “Established” describes common uses within source populations, not every business.

Evidence

Reviewed 2 October 2026. Sources have different dates and populations. Vendor examples show a tool exists, not how widely it is used. This first edition is updated by hand.
