Method. Each data point is a figure taken verbatim from a 2026 PwC or Capgemini Research Institute publication (source and sample shown on click). A leverage is a decision or negotiation that two or more of those figures make stronger together: typically one number that proves the problem, one that proves the payoff, and one that proves the market or the peer behaviour. Scores are editorial, not computed: money at stake (40%), evidence strength and cross-firm agreement (40%), and how directly it can be actioned now (20%). Modelled figures ($450bn, 1.7x, +9 pts TSR, +15% GDP) are weighted below surveyed ones.
