Six sectors, one measure, and the same cell with one home.

A sector page compares one sector across markets; a market page slices one market by sector.

Across 24,944 live specifications in the six sectors clearing the 150 floor, as at 14 September 2026, each sector is scored on the same four tests and the same four layers as every market. Shares the pack has not yet generated print as their pack key, never as a figure.

The rule that governs the two sections

Market pages slice one market by sector, seniority and function. Sector pages compare one sector across markets. Australian financial services therefore has exactly one home in each section, and no market-by-sector route exists.

Which sectors write AI into the most roles

Of 6,905 live financial services specifications as at 14 September 2026, 1,387 have AI core or supporting the work, 20.1%. Every sector renders from the pack's sectors block; the highlight falls on technology, the highest share that is not driven by composition. AI-native's share describes what the sector is, not what it has adopted.

Which sectors name who overrules the model

Of the 1,387 AI-central financial services specifications, 634 say nothing about who can overrule the model, 45.7%. A high bar here is the worse result. The share is held wherever a sector's AI-central cell falls under 50.

How the work divides across the layers, by sector

Where governance skills appear against tool use

The counts print beside each pair, so the ratio recomputes from the figures shown. A governance skill names who reviews, overrules or signs off on the model; a tool-use skill names the model itself.

How this is measured

Live basis. A sector page compares one sector across markets; a market page slices one market by sector. The same cell has one home and no market-by-sector route exists. A page publishes at 150 live specifications; a cell publishes inside its parent from 50 with counts beside shares; under 50 it is suppressed and the suppression is stated. Every figure carries population, basis, base and freeze date.
