Stage is a rule of thumb from the signals below, not a prediction. Every line links to its public source.
Back-test 2022 to 2024 across 145 agencies: quarters after AI or data hiring saw an AI or AI-adjacent contract over A$1m 17% of the time, against 3% otherwise. But shuffling the hiring dates gives 17%, so the signal mostly tells you which agencies buy, not when.
