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.
The briefing that reads it is coming. Join the waitlist.
- · Where the index moved — and which rail moved it
- · Legal frameworks scored the day they come into force
- · The gaps: what the machine economy still can't do, and what's blocking it
Waitlist only. No emails until the briefing launches.
