The Curve · From the Evidence Register · Updated monthly · Next update 6 July 2026
Three lines tell the story of the decade. Adoption runs fastest in the history of general-purpose technology. Production use trails it by a wide margin. Measured value trails further still. AiR Bench measures that distance, then helps you close it.
01
The share of organisations using AI in at least one function. This line runs fastest in the history of general-purpose technology.
02
The share redesigning a workflow end to end around AI. It trails adoption by a wide margin, and marks where value research points.
03
The share showing measurable impact against a baseline. It trails further still, and it is the line nobody else plots.
Three numbers, one distance
88%
of organisations now use AI in at least one function. Adoption no longer sets you apart. It is the weather.

21%
have redesigned even one workflow end to end around AI. This is the production line's ceiling, and where the value research points.

5%
of enterprise AI pilots delivered measurable P&L impact. The measured-value line is the one that matters, and the one nobody else plots.

What joins The Curve next
Once sector cells clear the minimum sample of 25, the AiR dataset joins this chart: measured readiness and realisation for the UK mid-market, by sector, over time, a line nobody else holds. We annotate every instrument version here, so you can see what evolved, when, and what evidence moved it.
