In the framework

What the capability covers and what it leaves to others, and the indicators it will be measured by.

Bounds

Covers application and diffusion capacity, the deploy layer made explicit as a capability; sector outcomes belong to the economic domains, and government adoption reads here with the machinery of government itself in governance.

Lineage

Carried from v0.0 (formerly Advanced data analytics) with the same identifier; recast from a definition of analytics to the application capacity, because national advantage increasingly accrues to states that deploy, not only to states that discover.
