Everyone's watching the wrong AI scoreboard

• Core argument: AI industry competition has shifted from raw model capability to context, distribution, and permission to ship — leaders are now differentiating on deployment reach and organisational access, not benchmark scores.
• Frames current model-performance leaderboards as a lagging indicator: capability parity across frontier labs means the remaining competitive edge lives in who gets an agent shipped into a real workflow, not who scores highest.
• Practical takeaway: stop evaluating AI vendors/companies primarily by benchmark wins — those still watching the model scoreboard “are going to watch the wrong companies win”; track context ownership and distribution reach instead.
