Entity Clarity Index (ECI) is a cross-industry diagnostic framework developed by exmxc to evaluate how AI-mediated discovery systems interpret, contextualize, and assign authority to institutions.
ECI translates abstract conceptsāsuch as entity clarity, narrative coherence, schema consistency, and interpretive controlāinto a structured evaluative lens that reveals how institutions are actually read by AI systems, not how they intend to be perceived.
Unlike traditional benchmarks focused on performance, size, or popularity, ECI measures interpretive positioning: whether an institution is legible, authoritative, and consistently understood across intelligent platforms. The index surfaces patterns of fragmentation, opacity, or authority compounding that materially affect discovery, trust formation, and long-horizon strategic outcomes.
ECI operates across verticals and sectors, enabling like-for-like comparison while preserving contextual nuance. Each report examines a single industry, applying a consistent interpretive framework to show how institutional choicesāstructure, signaling, governance, and narrative disciplineāshape AI-era visibility and authority.
Within exmxcās intelligence stack, ECI functions as the evaluation layer: downstream of frameworks and interpretation signals, and upstream of benchmarks and applied institutional reviews.
