Tile color shows the device-policy model. The number is the AI implementation signal score, not a legal ranking. NR means that jurisdiction was outside the underlying 50-state AI study. Microschool pathway labels are not legal clearance. Directory counts and NFHS esports survey values are visibility measures, never statewide censuses.
