AI score 32/100 (Mid) · 80% interval 28–39 · evidence grade B · CA · Software

Stated reason: Rightsizing after acquisitions (Moveworks, Veza, Armis); CEO says AI boosts productivity so attrition won't be backfilled.

Why 32: Executives link AI to efficiency/productivity, but not as the stated cause; also: Merger / acquisition integration · Drivers: AI attribution +2.2, industry AI exposure +0.6, contrary evidence −0.2

Evidence: state WARN notice, major-outlet report. Signals: attribution 0.45, primary source 0.0, exec statement 1.0, role exposure 0.888, industry exposure 0.858, AI investment 0.0, contrary evidence 0.15 · named roles: Computer Systems Analysts, Data Scientists, Software Developers

Note: Company-wide number unconfirmed; California WARN rows carry the verified counts.
