What is an AI strategy, and why does it matter?
An AI strategy answers five questions an AI activity list cannot: where the organization is exposed to disruption, whether its defensibility survives AI, what peers are actually doing, which work AI can replace and what to prioritize first. For a full explanation, see the
AI strategy overview.
What does the disruption score actually mean?
The score (0-100) measures how much AI is likely to reshape an organization's business model, not how advanced AI adoption is. A higher score means AI bears more heavily on the business, creating both threats and opportunities. The score is calculated across eight weighted dimensions covering workforce replaceability, competitive displacement risk, digital exposure, market velocity, data advantage, switching costs, regulatory protection and brand strength. See the
full explanation of the AI Disruption Score.
How are peers identified?
Through live web search and a peer research pipeline. Mireto identifies organizations similar in size, industry and business model, then extracts signals of their AI adoption from current news, job postings and web content. Named organizations appear in the assessment, not generic "market players."
What do the confidence tags mean?
Every finding carries one of three tags: Evidenced (verified from public sources such as financial filings, websites or business registration records), Inferred (logically derived from available evidence) or Hypothesis (a reasoned assessment where direct evidence is unavailable). This transparency makes clear what is verified and what needs validation.
How are the scores calculated?
The scoring model uses calibrated rubrics with hard boundaries for each dimension. A score above a given threshold requires specific evidence. For example, a workforce replaceability score above 7 requires evidence that more than 50% of the organization's work is knowledge work. These boundaries prevent score inflation and ensure different organizations receive meaningfully different scores.
Can documents be uploaded to sharpen the analysis?
Yes, with the Complete AI Strategy. Upload financial reports, existing strategies, org charts or customer data files and the analysis uses real numbers rather than estimates. If documents are not available, the Quick Business Profile captures the same information through structured questions. Uploaded document text is processed securely: only structured insights are retained; original document text is purged after 90 days.
Can results be shared with a team or board?
Yes. Every scan generates a shareable link. Recipients view results without signing up or creating an account. Share links last 30 days. Complete AI Strategy engagements include all the deliverables and the cover letter in the share view.
