Index & pillar read

Index / pillarValueStandingWhat a high vs low value means — and where Connecticut sits
SPI State Power44.3Moderate · #25/51Mid-pack. High would mean a heavyweight that anchors national AI capacity and pulls in capital and talent; low would mean limited absolute weight — a smaller node leaning on capacity built in larger states.
▲ high: a heavyweight that anchors national AI capacity and pulls in capital and talent  ·  ▼ low: limited absolute weight — a smaller node leaning on capacity built in larger states
SCC State Coefficient55.2Moderate · #17/51Mid-pack. High would mean deep capability per resident — a concentrated, high-intensity AI economy; low would mean thin intensity per resident — capability is sparse relative to population.
▲ high: deep capability per resident — a concentrated, high-intensity AI economy  ·  ▼ low: thin intensity per resident — capability is sparse relative to population
SDI State Agentic59.6Moderate · #16/51Mid-pack. High would mean agents are widely deployed locally — a near-term productivity multiplier; low would mean agentic deployment is shallow — the local agent lever is under-used.
▲ high: agents are widely deployed locally — a near-term productivity multiplier  ·  ▼ low: agentic deployment is shallow — the local agent lever is under-used
Talent Talent54.8Strong · #14/51High here — a deep talent pool — the scarcest input to building AI.
▲ high: a deep talent pool — the scarcest input to building AI  ·  ▼ low: a shallow talent base that constrains how much can be built locally
Capital Capital40.1Moderate · #22/51Mid-pack. High would mean abundant capital flowing into building cognitive infrastructure; low would mean thin investment — good ideas struggle to scale locally.
▲ high: abundant capital flowing into building cognitive infrastructure  ·  ▼ low: thin investment — good ideas struggle to scale locally
Research Research53.8Moderate · #17/51Mid-pack. High would mean a strong research base feeding a pipeline of ideas and people; low would mean a weak research base — fewer home-grown breakthroughs and spinouts.
▲ high: a strong research base feeding a pipeline of ideas and people  ·  ▼ low: a weak research base — fewer home-grown breakthroughs and spinouts
Infrastructure Infrastructure67.8Moderate · #16/51Mid-pack. High would mean the physical and digital rails to run AI at scale are in place; low would mean infrastructure gaps cap how much AI can actually be run locally.
▲ high: the physical and digital rails to run AI at scale are in place  ·  ▼ low: infrastructure gaps cap how much AI can actually be run locally
Agentic Agentic59.6Moderate · #16/51Mid-pack. High would mean agents are actively deployed — an early-mover productivity edge; low would mean little agentic deployment — the near-term lever is unused.

Strengths to build on

  • Talent (54.8, Strong) — a deep talent pool — the scarcest input to building AI.

Risk factors

  • No acute structural gaps stand out across the state pillars.
