Extract¶
Surveys identify organizational maturity tiers, which is a form of stratification, contradicting the claim
Relevance to Hypotheses¶
| Hypothesis | Relationship | Strength |
|---|---|---|
| H1 | Contradicts | No survey identified capability stratification |
| H2 | Supports | Surveys exist but frame stratification as organizational maturity, not individual capability |
| H3 | Partial | Surveys explicitly identify capability-based stratification |
Context¶
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.
