First-party research operations

Research built from a retained record.

Monthly, quarterly and annual research starts from a frozen database snapshot. Report inputs remain drafts until their findings and sources receive editorial review.

No annual report has been automatically published. A change in database coverage is not a change in the size of the physical AI market.

Snapshot limitations and reproducibility

Code reference 443113db8b6b710ef04076c78cab747b378ffc7d. Schema 1.

  • Snapshot coverage describes the reviewed database, not the total market.
  • Observation dates are not market event dates.
  • Imported benchmark metadata is counted separately; no cross-benchmark score is calculated.
  • Unknowns and conflicts are retained. Draft report inputs are not automatically published.
