Per-item analysis
Vancouver
Vancouver is the #85 metro by economic size ($160bn) in the panel and ranks #77/162 on absolute Metro Power and #48/162 on per-capita intensity. Its strongest pillar is Talent (56.8, Strong); no single pillar is a binding weakness. Locally it runs below the Canada national average (MCC 52.5 vs CC 65.3).
Strengths
- Talent (56.8, Strong) — a deep talent pool — the scarcest input to building AI.
- Agentic (50.7, Strong) — agents are actively deployed — an early-mover productivity edge.
Risk factors
- No acute structural gaps stand out across the metro pillars.
