The gap between “we have AI”
and “AI generates alpha” is measurable.
Hedge funds are wired to benchmark. The funds pulling ahead aren’t just investing in AI — they’re building the infrastructure to deploy it in production.
Funds with mature pipelines integrate new alternative data sources in hours, not months. That's a structural alpha advantage your competitors may already have.
Production AI requires clean data, reliable pipelines, and MLOps infrastructure. The score tells you exactly where your gaps are before you burn 6 months finding out the hard way.
Based on our benchmark dataset. Most funds are in the "Building" tier — ahead in some dimensions, behind in others. Knowing which is the first step.
