Coverage note

This is a measured view of Superpower Daily's verified source set, not a census of the entire AI economy. The current quarter is partial, historical coverage grows with the structured record, and source gaps remain visible in the downloads and version archive.

Measurement technique

How to read this report

  1. 01Each edition uses UTC calendar quarters. The newest row is a live quarter-to-date observation until the quarter closes.
  2. 02Capital totals include verified USD-denominated funding and acquisitions only. Undisclosed transactions remain in event counts and no currency conversion is inferred.
  3. 03Model and policy counts come from verified structured signal records. Enterprise-adoption and infrastructure counts come from distinct published, source-backed stories selected by disclosed editorial rules.
  4. 04The five dimensions are shown separately and are not combined into a synthetic market score. Revised source evidence produces a new immutable dataset edition rather than rewriting an archived version.
