Ms Jean Carberry:

The 20% is the change to the goalposts, but also we want to be out ahead and we would prefer to be increasing our distance from the average rather than decreasing it. I will give the Deputy a little breakdown. The score is based on counting how many of 12 selected technologies are used by enterprises. The basic level requires usage of at least four technologies. They measure different ones based on different survey years. In 2024, five of the things they measured were the same as in 2023 and seven were different. Going back to the 2022 survey, 11 of the 12 were the same as in 2024. In that case, we have moved from 64% to 66%, so we have increased but only marginally, by 2%, when looking at like for like, or almost like for like. That explains the big drop.
