ARIA Energy Index · Q2 2026

The ARIA
Energy Index.

The gap between AI ambition and AI execution is the most important strategic question in the energy sector right now. The ARIA Index makes that gap actionable.

Five dimensions.
External data only.

The ARIA Energy Index scores organizations across five observable dimensions. Every score is derived from external, verifiable sources — SEC filings, earnings call transcripts, patent records, job postings, and regulatory disclosures. No surveys. No self-reporting. No company pays to be included or to influence its score.

Each dimension is scored 0–20. Composite score is 0–100. The scoring methodology is published. The sources are cited.

01 / 05

AI Investment Intensity

How much is the organization visibly committing to AI — in budget disclosures, named investment figures, and strategic positioning of AI as a growth driver?

Scored 0–20 · Max weight: 20%
02 / 05

Implementation Depth

Has AI moved from announcement to operation? Named production systems, active vendor partnerships, patent filings, and AI engineering hiring signal real deployment.

Scored 0–20 · Max weight: 20%
03 / 05

Outcome Attribution

Can the organization point to specific financial results from AI — cost savings, revenue uplift, efficiency gains with numbers — disclosed in official communications?

Scored 0–20 · Max weight: 20%
04 / 05

Workforce Transformation

Is the workforce changing in response to AI? AI-specific hiring growth, role redesign, and internal capability-building signal genuine organizational transformation. The dimension tracks not only displacement signals but job creation — specifically, new roles being created as AI changes what work needs to be done.

Over time, the ARIA Index will track the ratio of roles being displaced to new roles being created — building a longitudinal record of how AI is reshaping the sector's workforce, not just reducing it.

Scored 0–20 · Max weight: 20%
05 / 05

Governance & Risk Maturity

Has AI governance kept pace with deployment? Board oversight mandates, named frameworks, and specific AI risk disclosures indicate institutional maturity.

Scored 0–20 · Max weight: 20%

How does your company
compare?

Five ARIA dimensions. Fifteen questions. Approximately five minutes. Answer each question based on what your organization has publicly disclosed or internally evidenced — the same standard the ARIA Index applies to scored companies. Your result is plotted against the Q2 2026 sector distribution.

The methodology
is structurally independent.

The ARIA Index is published by LG Strategy and is not sponsored by, paid for, or affiliated with any company it scores. No company pays to be included or to influence its score. Inclusion in the scored universe is determined by sector relevance and data availability — not by relationship or payment.

The methodology is published. The sources are cited. Every score is traceable to specific disclosures in public filings, earnings call transcripts, patent records, job postings, or regulatory submissions. If a company disputes a score, the source is available for review.

The independence is structural: the consulting business and the index product operate under separate commercial logic. A company that engages LG Strategy for consulting does not receive a higher score. A company that scores well does not receive preferential treatment in the signal feed.
