Research R0042 — Private AI Motivations
Run 2026-04-01
Query Q001
Hypothesis H3

Statement

No substantial survey evidence exists documenting enterprise motivations for private AI deployment; the topic is under-researched by major consultancies.

Status

Current: Eliminated

Supporting Evidence

Evidence Summary
None No evidence supports a complete absence of documentation

Contradicting Evidence

Evidence Summary
SRC01-E01 Deloitte's survey covers sovereign AI with specific statistics
SRC03-E01 KPMG tracks enterprise AI investment and challenges quarterly
SRC05-E01 Menlo Ventures provides detailed build-vs-buy and adoption data

Reasoning

Multiple major consultancies actively survey enterprise AI deployment patterns and challenges. While none produces a dedicated "private AI motivations" ranked list, the topic is well-covered as a component of broader AI strategy surveys. H3 is clearly eliminated.

Relationship to Other Hypotheses

H3 represents the null hypothesis. Its elimination confirms that the evidence base is substantial enough to support meaningful analysis, lending credibility to the H2 finding.
