Machines are becoming economic actors.
We track the infrastructure that makes it possible.

What the MEI measures
The machine economy is built on three infrastructure rails — Payment, Physical, Legal — and the index also tracks realized demand (Macro). The four components are weighted equally.
The index updates daily.
