Entity Clarity Index (ECI)
The Entity Clarity Index (ECI) is a cross-industry framework designed for executive leaders navigating the shift to an AI-mediated economy. As AI systems increasingly determine how information is discovered, summarized, and trusted, ECI evaluates how clearly organizations across multiple sectors — including media, finance, healthcare, technology, and consumer industries — are understood by machines. Rather than ranking performance, ECI measures structural posture, capability, and entity coherence to surface strategic risks and opportunities that traditional metrics miss. Each report focuses on a single vertical, providing executives with a clear view of how institutional choices made today shape visibility, authority, and leverage in the AI era.
How to Read This Index
- One report per vertical: Each Entity Clarity Index report examines a single industry or sector to ensure like-for-like comparison and avoid cross-vertical distortion.
- Structure over performance: ECI does not rank financial results or operational success; it evaluates how clearly an organization’s identity, content, and authority are interpreted by AI systems.
- Scores appear only in context: Entity Clarity & Capability (ECC) scores are displayed exclusively within the Index section of each report, alongside posture and capability analysis.
- The PDF is authoritative: The downloadable PDF serves as the official record of each report and should be cited for institutional reference or decision-making.
What We Measure
- Posture — The strategic stance an organization takes toward AI access and reuse, ranging from open participation to defensive control or full restriction. Posture reflects intent, not technical quality.
- Capability — The degree to which an organization’s structure, metadata, and architecture enable AI systems to accurately discover, interpret, and attribute its information.
- Entity Clarity & Capability (ECC) — A composite measure that reflects how consistently and confidently an organization is understood by AI systems, combining posture and capability into a single interpretive signal.
