R0007/2026-03-19/C009 — Claim Definition

Claim as Received

No major enterprise survey (McKinsey n=1,933; BCG n=10,600; Deloitte n=3,235) identified capability-based stratification in AI deployment.

Claim as Clarified

No major enterprise survey (McKinsey n=1,933; BCG n=10,600; Deloitte n=3,235) identified capability-based stratification in AI deployment.

BLUF

The claim is partially correct but requires significant caveats. The sample sizes are approximately correct (McKinsey ~1,993 not 1,933; BCG 10,600 confirmed; Deloitte 3,235 confirmed). However, the assertion that no survey identified capability-based stratification is an overstatement. McKinsey identifies 'AI high performers' (6% of respondents). BCG finds a three-tier capability model. These surveys do identify capability differences but frame them as organizational maturity, not individual skill stratification.
