About Us

We publish comparable metrics for AI, with room to grow into the internet economy

Lyell Data provides standardized datasets on AI adoption and GenAI/ChatGPT usage—each with a point estimate and a modeled range. Our framework extends to upcoming verticals: Internet Economy and Digital Marketing.

Mission

Make metrics comparable—and honest about uncertainty

Cross-country and cross-industry stats are often apples-to-oranges. We standardize definitions (e.g., “% of firms using AI in ≥1 process”), apply SME vs Large splits, and always show a modeled range. We prefer reproducibility over black-box claims, and document revisions like features—not bugs.

How we work

Principles & guarantees

  • Modeled + Public Data: open datasets, directional proxies, documented anchors.
  • Ranges, not absolutes: uncertainty bands on every estimate.
  • Revisions documented: semantic versioning and a public changelog.
  • Privacy & ethics: no PII; aggregated signals only; respect for national data laws.
  • No sponsored metrics: vendor telemetry appears only if public or licensed, with labeling.
