Sovereign Adaptation Velocity Index (SAVI)
SAVIEffective Speed at Which Jurisdictions Recognize, Implement, Diffuse, Evaluate, and Update Responses to AI-Driven Economic Change
SAVI measures how quickly jurisdictions respond to AI-driven economic change.
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.
By definition: SAVI assesses velocity across five policy response stages.
Implications
- Higher SAVI correlates with preserved policy effectiveness
