AI Maturity in Tech / software.
Benchmark cohort: Tech / software companies in Europe with 100–249 employees — the most mid-market-typical band. Scores are calibrated against the public research cited per row, and continuously refined as real Arqmetrica Index responses accumulate. Read the methodology.
The six dimensions
Per-dimension median, with the p25–p75 range that captures the middle 50% of companies in this cohort. Bars are scaled to 0–100.
Strategy & vision
Weighted at 18%A notable strength for this sector.Technology firms are typically founded with an AI or data-product thesis, so board-level alignment on AI strategy is an early instinct rather than a late retrofit. The Index reflects this as a strong lead on Strategy clarity and prioritisation.

Data foundations
Weighted at 17%A notable strength for this sector.Cloud-native architectures and product telemetry mean tech firms usually start with structured event data and a working analytics layer. That gives Data foundations a head-start over sectors building from legacy ERP systems.

People & capability
Weighted at 17%A notable strength for this sector.Tech firms run with the densest concentration of engineering and ML talent of any sector in the mid-market. Hiring posture, internal mobility, and ML literacy norms all push the People score well above the cross-industry median.

Tooling & infrastructure
Weighted at 14%A notable strength for this sector.Cloud-first deployment, modern observability, and a product-engineering culture comfortable with API integration give tech firms a structural premium on Tooling. The gap is widest against asset-heavy sectors with sunk infrastructure investments.
