Every case has a permanent CaseID: aicase-00001 → aicase-03132
👉 In addition to the main dataset, feel free to browse the in-review and excluded datasets.
They provide useful context on cases that are being validated or did not meet inclusion criteria, and help illustrate the curation process behind the library.
in-review and excluded datasets are not production quality.
They contain incomplete information, missing enrichment, or non-AI cases. You can view them for background reference only.

Note on Vendor Presence
Vendor comparisons in this repository are based on the share of documented case studies in my dataset (3,023 cases).
- Tool/Technology mentions reflect where vendor products (e.g., Azure, Copilot, GPT, Claude, Gemini) appear in implementations.
- Source (Publisher) indicates who published the case study (e.g., Microsoft, AWS, Google).
These numbers show relative presence in documented cases, not actual global adoption. Vendors with larger publication pipelines may appear overrepresented.

- Requirements - minimal dependencies (
pandas,matplotlib) - See tools/analysis-scripts/ for details
