Nine industries,read the same way every time.

Each industry page carries the same spine: what the sector is actually doing, the categories inside it with their confirmed deployments, fifty tracked use cases sorted by what is running, a maturity map and the constraints in the order they bite. Banking is published. The rest follow on the schedule below.

The nine

Published and in preparation

We would rather publish one industry properly than nine thinly. Each takes a full quarter of enquiry work before it is worth printing.

Live2026.4

Banking and capital markets

64 vendors, 1,340 claims, 407 confirmed. More AI in production than any other industry, and the widest gap between announced and running.

Claims, underwriting and submission intake. The register holds the deepest evidence here after banking.

What every industry page contains

The same six sections, so they compare

A consistent spine is the point. If the banking page and the insurance page are built differently, you cannot read one against the other.

About the industry

What the sector inherited, what it is actually deploying, and where the two get confused.

The categories inside it

Vendor counts, claims captured, how many an organization confirmed, and the deepest stage established.

Fifty use cases

Sorted into live now, getting started, and our forecast for 2027 to 2028, which is marked as a forecast.

The evidence in four charts

The claim ladder, confirmation rates, the stage mix and the horizon sequence, all quotable with their dates.

The maturity map

Confirmed deployments by function and stage, so you can read the diagonal rather than a score.

The constraint

What actually stops deployments in that industry, in the order it stops them.
