Cross-index benchmarking of the technical AI suitability component

MeasureBenchmark evidenceInterpretation
Technical AI Suitability (TA)Pearson correlation with existing technical AI exposure indices: r ≈ 0.72The TA component aligns with prior technical-only exposure measures. This supports the technical side of the rubric without claiming realised adoption
ISEF ExposureDescriptive divergence from technical-only rankingsDivergence is expected because ISEF applies institutional resistance as a gating factor. The difference is part of the sociotechnical argument, not a failure of the TA measure

Note(s): This benchmark is used as a concurrent-validity diagnostic for technical AI suitability. It does not validate realised adoption. Final ISEF exposure intentionally diverges from technical-only indices once institutional resistance is included
