SYSTEM READINESS MAP

The system behind the trajectory

The map stays central, but every node is treated as a research object: current maturity, confidence, score anatomy, constraints, recent evidence and frontier actors are all inspectable without turning the diagram into a decorative dashboard.

Node value = current maturity / readinessSelect a node to inspect the model
CoreEnablerExpansionDashed = downstream influence

SCORE ANATOMY

Intelligence50%63.7Frontier reasoning 82 and reliability 74 are strong; tool use 62, long-horizon autonomy 58 and especially autonomous AI R&D 44 remain the main maturity gaps.
AI for Science30%59.0Scientific reasoning 71 and novel-result generation 68 lead; autonomous research loops 56 are improving, while independent verification 50 and experimental integration 44 remain limiting.
Robotics20%47.4Perception & control 65 leads, with generalization 52 improving; long-horizon autonomy 45, reliability & endurance 38 and deployment & scale 32 remain the main constraints.

ACTIVE CONSTRAINTS

Long-horizon autonomous reliability

Long-horizon agent systems can now sustain multi-day engineering loops, but reliability outside structured feedback environments is still unproven.

Severity78
Trendimproving
Automated AI R&D

AI can assist AI engineering, but the full research loop is not yet reliably autonomous.

Severity74
Trendimproving
Robotic reliability & generalization

Robots can look impressive in demos while still requiring intervention in messy environments.

Severity70
Trendimproving
Commercial fusion net-electricity & plant integration

Fusion programs are now credible engineering projects, but none has yet demonstrated repeatable commercial net electricity from an integrated plant.

Severity76
Trendimproving
Datacenter power & grid connection

Power delivery can become slower to scale than chips.

How to read it: score components are arithmetic inputs to domain maturity; constraints explain what prevents a higher score; actor watch scores provide landscape context; edges indicate structural influence rather than direct mathematical derivation.
