How the Score works
The Vikshy Score is a daily, open ranking of the leading AI labs, built only from public evidence: how strong each lab is today, which way it is heading, and exactly why. Strength is where each lab stands, from eight measured pillars; Direction is where it is heading, from the last 30 days of developments. 13 labs ranked, 4 on the watchlist. The Score closes daily at 06:00 UTC; big launches and outages move Direction live in between.
