Sovereign Adaptation Velocity (SAV)
SAV — The speed at which nations, jurisdictions, or sovereign entities can improve representation infrastructure, verification systems, and AI-readiness across their economic base.
Description
Sovereign Adaptation Velocity measures national capacity to adapt to AI-mediated market requirements. SAV includes legal framework updates, infrastructure investment, standardization initiatives, and institutional coordination. High SAV enables jurisdictions to maintain allocative access as AI systems mediate economic activity.

Agent-Ready Market Infrastructure
Agent-Ready Market Infrastructure introduces the infrastructure layer for AI-mediated economies, specifying how economic entities, assets, and services can become discoverable, interpretable, comparable, verifiable, permissioned, and transaction-capable for AI agents. This document defines the Agent-Readiness Index (ARI) as a multiplicative measurement framework, the Global Agent-Readiness Index (GARI) for cross-border market access, universal Verified Property Records as persistent portable representation, jurisdictional legibility for legal interoperability, semantic portability for cross-system understanding, and computational eligibility as the prerequisite condition for allocative participation.
The Zero-Click Economy
The Zero-Click Economy examines how AI-mediated discovery, selection, recommendation, verification, and action alter the transmission of economic signals from policy and demand to firms, assets, households, sectors, and jurisdictions. We introduce the Current Reporting-Period Hypothesis, which states that AI systems construct consideration sets from representations as they exist at inference time, not from the period the policy or demand signal was emitted. This creates Computational Transmission Attrition—policy or demand-induced signals may attenuate, misallocate, or leak before reaching intended economic targets. We formalize Dynamic Computational Risk as the interaction between exposure (dependence on AI-mediated allocation), technological velocity (rate of change in AI-mediated discovery), financial sensitivity (margin of capital, liquidity dependence), and adaptation capacity (speed of organizational response). The paper consolidates the Representation Economy measurement stack: Agent Readiness Index (ARI), Global Agent Readiness Index (GARI), Zero-Click Exposure Index (ZCEI), Platform Dependency Index (PDI), Computational Business Risk Index (CBRI), Dynamic Computational Risk Index (DCRI), Enterprise Adaptation Velocity Index (EAVI), Computable Asset Ratio (CAR), National Computable Economy Index (NCEI), Sovereign Adaptation Velocity Index (SAVI), and sovereign outputs including Compound Regional Adaptation Velocity Index (CRAVI), Global Computable Economy Index (GCEI), Sovereign Adaptation Gap (SAG), and Dynamic Monetary Sovereignty Risk Index (DMSRI).
