Definition

SAVI measures sovereign response capacity to AI-driven economic change across five stages: recognition, implementation, diffusion, evaluation, and update. Higher SAVI indicates better capacity to preserve policy effectiveness and competitiveness under AI-mediated allocation.

SAVI assesses sovereign adaptation velocity across recognition, implementation, diffusion, evaluation, and update stages. Higher SAVI indicates better capacity to respond to AI-mediated market transitions.

Conceptual Formula

SAVI(j) = (RV(j) + IV(j) + DV(j) + EV(j) + UV(j)) / 5, where R=recognition, I=implementation, D=diffusion, E=evaluation, U=update velocity.

What This Index Measures

SAVI measures sovereign adaptation to AI-driven change.

medium confidence

By definition: SAVI assesses velocity across five policy response stages.

Implications

  • Higher SAVI correlates with preserved policy effectiveness

Description

SAVI(j) = (RV(j) + IV(j) + DV(j) + EV(j) + UV(j)) / 5, where R=recognition, I=implementation, D=diffusion, E=evaluation, U=update velocity.

Limitations

  • Requires longitudinal policy tracking
  • Stage attribution may be subjective

Key Takeaways

Key Points

  • SAVI scales 0-100
