Historical backfill retrieved 7 September 2026: 6,588 published World Bank indicator values across 217 economies for available 2023–2025 annual waves, plus 67 enterprise AI survey records from 2023–2024 in a separate seven-category measure. The history view compares native periods and adds the September 2023 BCG consulting experiment, with its March 2026 journal publication. The original 2026-08.r1 snapshot remains unchanged.

Coverage differs by indicator and country. Water-stress observations in this window are not published in the connected feed; 2026 annual waves are incomplete and excluded. Microsoft country AI diffusion starts in H1 2025; no 2023–2024 values are inferred. The expanded 2025 enterprise AI basket is separate from 2023–2024, and no cross-basket growth rate is calculated. Comparable country attention and realized net economic benefit remain unavailable.
