AI readiness of state bodies by their public-procurement footprint, 2022–2026
A state body that wants to use AI has to walk a chain: infrastructure → data and information systems → integration → people → AI and analytics. The index records whether and how regularly each body bought along that chain in 2022–2026, plus licensed base software and computers, using open procurement records only. The score runs from 0 to 100 and positions a body within its own country.
Structural comparison (countries are not ranked against each other)
| Country | Bodies scored | Full chain | Bought AI | Bought integration | Chain breaks at integration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ukraine | 77 | 4 | 23 | 16 | 61 |
| Azerbaijan | 147 | 2 | 21 | 18 | 95 |
| Slovakia | 90 | 1 | 11 | 15 | 56 |
| Moldova | 105 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 95 |
| Kazakhstan | 57 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 37 |
The sources differ in what they make visible; coverage per country is stated in the methodology.
Methodology in brief
- Five steps of one chain: 1 Infrastructure, 2 Data & information systems, 3 Integration, 4 People, 5 AI & analytics. Each step is measured as the share of the years 2022–2026 in which the body bought in that step. Score = 8·Infrastructure + 20·Data + 20·Integration + 12·People + 20·AI + 10·Licensed software + 10·Computers, 0–100.
- Foundation rule: AI bought without data systems and integration counts at half weight — a body cannot run models on top of a chain it never built.
- A year counts as a data year for a country only if it holds at least 10 % of that country's peak annual procurement volume; a body is scored by its share of such years. 585 institutions in the five national registers were reviewed; security and defence bodies (79 of 585) are outside the scope; rows with fewer than 2 data years are not scored (103); 476 rows are scored.
- Azerbaijan is scored per procuring structure; a ministry's score is the median of its structures. The minimum-requirements tier is met when licensed software appears in at least 3 of 5 years and Office and endpoint protection are named in the purchases.
- The exchange platform (Trembita, X-Road and similar) is shown separately and is not comparable across countries.
