Understanding your scenario
Domestic Operator
A scenario profile based on the full assessment, rather than a country ranking.
A Domestic Operator has the technical expertise and decision rights needed to run important AI services within the country. Domestic teams can deploy and maintain systems, govern their data and evaluate performance. They may use imported hardware and foreign-developed models while retaining substantial control over how those systems operate.
Its remaining dependencies often concern replacement hardware or continued access to external software support. The assessment examines how long essential services could continue under restricted access and whether domestic teams could maintain suitable alternatives. The practical pathway is to strengthen maintenance capability and sustain investment in the people responsible for operations.
