Canada's 40.0 per cent "AI is not relevant" answer is a statement about what a business sells, not how it runs — and the country has no survey that asks the second question. The published figures do not even agree with each other: 40.0 per cent from Statistics Canada, 63.0 per cent implied by the federal strategy's own 78 per cent. Inside that gap sits a market worth USD 3.16 billion in 2026 and USD 8.60 billion by 2033.
Brazil has 38 GW of data centre grid connection requests and 1,000 MW of capacity actually running. The distance between those two numbers is not doubt about demand — it is the length of a transmission line, and the seven years it takes to build one.
High-risk AI obligations under the EU AI Act now start in December 2027, not August 2026 — a sixteen-month slide that has not been matched by the capex cycle, which is running at two to two and a half times the revenue of the market it serves.
Canada publishes no HCM market size, but it publishes the denominators. Twenty-one million employees across 1.37 million employer businesses — fifteen people on average — under fourteen payroll jurisdictions, in a category where 8.8% of the largest vendor's revenue came from interest on payroll float.
Assessment is the cheapest way to find out who can actually do the job, and the hardest part of hiring to defend. Inside the revised validity evidence, the application flood, and the audit trail nobody owns.
Services were $421.3 billion of India's $863.1 billion of exports in FY2025-26 — a 48.8% share Pheonix Research calculates from RBI data. The surplus covered 64.2% of the goods deficit, and no tariff line reaches it.
India's software services exports rose 8.2% to $221.4 billion in FY2025-26, the RBI's survey shows — 54.1% to the United States, with the largest service line growing slowest. NASSCOM's $246.4 billion total counts something else.
