Eight-domain decisions

Eligible domain counts: T1+ 3; T2+ 2; T3 0; A1+ 2; A2+ 1; A3 0.

Smart technology inventory

Current winners and documented deployment evidence are reconciled below. Earlier screening records labeled Unclear do not establish deployment and do not contribute to scores.

Paris research report

Paris is classified 2B with Type Score 20.83 and Autonomy Score 12.50, under v0.2.3. The eight-domain decisions, deployment inventory and source review states above form this edition's reproducible assessment.

Limitations

• Two independent city-proper service domains qualify T2: automatic rail mobility and Airparif predictive environment/health. Automatic train choice qualifies Level C candidate solely in MOB; forecasts do not independently actuate environmental systems, so mandatory two-domain C gate fails despite sufficient numerical A score. The regionwide metro and Airparif footprints are included only for their large documented in-city operations.
• Previous-source register states carried forward, supplemental pages examined unless noted otherwise. Scoring coefficients are category values, not measured city coverage fractions.
• Announced 3000 new leak sensors per year is not proof installed operating network
• AI traffic-camera counts are not autonomous traffic control
• Three RATP automated lines still belong only to MOB
• The original report contains a copied Lusail/Masdar scope paragraph. It applies to those developments only; the authoritative scope for this assessment is the scope stated above. Original text preserved transparently.
• SRC-005: Original data-catalog page examined in tool results; thermal camera AI counts; deployed geographic reach unverified
• SRC-006: Indexed PDF 2025 policy promises 3000 new acoustic water-leak sensors annually; project schedule, not proof installed 2026
• SRC-008: Original 2025 city report indexed; emphasizes assistant, not delegated autonomous public decisions

• MOB: High-volume established automatic metro crosses Paris and wider Île-de-France; substantial Paris service, independent train control but same MOB domain as road sensing Municipal service-area evidence; supplied coverage and eligibility remain provisional.
• ENV: Hourly/next-day model output covering all Paris used for public/operator decision support, human remains in control Municipal service-area evidence; supplied coverage and eligibility remain provisional.
• GOV: Municipal digital services / public data in production; city AI policy not an operational AI T2 service at municipality-scale Municipal service-area evidence; supplied coverage and eligibility remain provisional.

# Smart City Dispatch — Paris revised v0.2.3 assessment

**As of:** 2026-10-11  
**Editorial authorization:** publish after Sites schema-mapping and successful deterministic validation; no live publication executed by ChatGPT.  
**Scope:** City of Paris municipal boundary; regionwide operators qualify only for substantial operating service physically inside Paris  
**Type:** municipality/city  
**Type score (documented lower-bound; NOT a certified score when label is '?'):** 20.83  
**Autonomy score (documented lower-bound; NOT a certified score when label is '?'):** 12.50  
**Classification:** **2B**

## Research conclusion
Two independent city-proper service domains qualify T2: automatic rail mobility and Airparif predictive environment/health. Automatic train choice qualifies Level C candidate solely in MOB; forecasts do not independently actuate environmental systems, so mandatory two-domain C gate fails despite sufficient numerical A score. The regionwide metro and Airparif footprints are included only for their large documented in-city operations.

This is a **development-area score** for Lusail and Masdar, not an independent-municipality score. Numerical lower-bound 0 in an evidence-insufficient place means lack of geographically qualifying examined evidence, NOT that the place has zero smart technologies. NEOM/The Line has no current operating-city score, because it is a proposed project.

### Why not next higher?
Two independent city-proper service domains qualify T2: automatic rail mobility and Airparif predictive environment/health. Automatic train choice qualifies Level C candidate solely in MOB; forecasts do not independently actuate environmental systems, so mandatory two-domain C gate fails despite sufficient numerical A score. The regionwide metro and Airparif footprints are included only for their large documented in-city operations.

### Exclusions / caveats
- Announced 3000 new leak sensors per year is not proof installed operating network
- AI traffic-camera counts are not autonomous traffic control
- Three RATP automated lines still belong only to MOB

### Research protocol integrity
The 21 capability-domain tags are DESCRIPTIVE; the eight MOB/ENG/WAT/BLD/SAF/ENV/GOV/HLT domains are equally weighted and each has one maximum contributor on each axis. Distinct source publisher counts have not been independently re-audited for every carried-forward source and should not be inflated. Source URLs and deployment statuses are preserved for Sites to merge onto canonical records. Unverified work, pilots and planned deployments are excluded.
