A bounded early period in the uptake of an AI technology during which usage patterns form and their downstream effects are documented. Denotes a time interval of early adoption observed at population or organizational level, not a single interaction.
TREND. Defined over the early adoption interval for a given tool and population. Tracked indicators: adoption rate over time and the emergence of stable usage practices. The window is delimited (e.g. from first availability until adoption-rate inflection); the construct is the early-interval trajectory of these indicators.
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Adoption-rate time series (cumulative or period uptake) over the early interval, with the window bounded by an inflection criterion; emergent-practice indicators tracked across the same interval; could be reported as a dated trajectory.
