Question 1

How is the AI adoption score calculated for California companies?

Accepted Answer

Each company's score is a 0-100 blend of four signals: AI hiring share (LinkedIn job postings tagged AI/ML), tech-stack adoption (number of public AI vendor integrations), case-study density (independently verifiable AI deployments), and exec disclosure (board, earnings-call, and senior LinkedIn mentions). The score is re-derived monthly so trajectory matters as much as the snapshot.

Question 2

What does an average score of 60 mean for California?

Accepted Answer

An average of 60 places California near the national median (~60). Companies clustering at 65-70 are typically running production AI workloads with measurable KPIs; companies in the 50-64 band are piloting; below 50 means early or no public adoption signal.

Question 3

Which California industries lead in AI adoption?

Accepted Answer

Within California, the largest representations on this leaderboard are Hospital And Health Care (415 companies), Health systems & hospitals (379 companies), Financial Services (275 companies), Information Technology And Services (241 companies). Industry concentration matters: a handful of dense AI-native sectors typically anchors a state's top-quartile cluster, while the long tail captures cross-industry early adopters.

Question 4

How often is the California leaderboard updated?

Accepted Answer

The underlying company-level scores recompute monthly. Pages on this site rebuild from those scores within 24 hours of the recompute. New companies enter the leaderboard as we discover and verify them through our enrichment pipeline (LinkedIn parsing, NAICS classification, AI-vendor integration detection).

Question 5

How can I get my California company added or its score reviewed?

Accepted Answer

If your company is missing or you believe its score is materially out of date, request a review at /contact. We recompute scores on demand for verified companies; turnaround is usually 5-10 business days.

Question 6

Can I download the California leaderboard data?

Accepted Answer

Per-state CSV exports are not yet available as a self-serve endpoint. Reach out at /contact with the use case (research, journalism, internal benchmarking) and we'll provision a one-time export.
