Assigned seats in use

Evidence & data — Seat use at each counted run

Comparison

Activation counts assigned seats with recent qualifying activity. Bought-but-unassigned seats are outside this denominator. A run that did not store the figure breaks the line rather than being drawn through it.

The gaps between the points are the gaps between counts, not months. The axis is banded 60–80; the figures here are the readings themselves. A run reading “not recorded” did not store that share.

The shade runs on a fixed scale — never re-normalized to this organization's own spread — so the same share is the same shade in every month and every copy of this page. 1 row carries an em dash in the two counted columns rather than a guess.

Active and ready to activate are the counted split of assigned seats from your Microsoft signals; bought-but-unassigned seats are outside this team activity grid. Consumption fit is a labeled assessment. An em dash is a figure this product does not have, never a zero. 1 row carries an em dash in the two counted columns rather than a guess.

Privacy floor, stated rather than assumed. This page never names a person. Named leaders, and department budget owners within their authorized departments, can see and export champions under the organization’s naming policy. Each person can opt out on Your Aristo; they remain counted and are never named. Personal minutes remain private. Every row here is a team of 5 people or more, and every cohort is a count of a group. Other teams — 2 teams shown together, so that no group of fewer than five people is shown on its own.

What moved

Every line here is a comparison against the previous counted run — never against a window this page chose.

counted

2,760 of 4,040 assigned seats are in use — up 3 seats from 2,757 active at the counted run on 25 August 2026.

1,280 assigned seats did no work this period — down from 1,283 ready to activate at the counted run on 25 August 2026.

4,200 paid = 4,040 assigned + 160 bought but unassigned. Activation is measured only across the assigned seats.

On the Frontier Scale the estate stands at 78 of 100 — Advancing (55–84 of 100) — up 4 points from 74 at the counted run on 25 August 2026.

Academy

Which lessons this organization is actually watching.

Not enough lessons watched yet to show this safely

Aristo names a lesson here only once the organization has watched 5 or more, so that a count can never point at one person. Nothing is being withheld from you that we can show honestly.

Scope Whole organization Period This counted run Compared with 25 August 2026 Adoption is composed for the current run, so there is nothing here to narrow. Slice it by team, role, country or location on Users & teams.

Cohorts

Each of these is a count of a group, never a list of people. They are counted out of different populations — the line under each figure says which — so they are not added together anywhere in this product, and there is no total here to quote.

Credit-ready

estimate

These people are getting value from the included Copilot seat already — active, engaged, and saying the help lands. They are the cohort that earns its keep on metered credits rather than burning them learning.

They activated, and their recent use has slowed. A timely nudge keeps a habit that is already there.

The habit was there once, so keeping it takes a fraction of the effort of a first introduction.

counted

Seats that are assigned and paid for and show no qualifying activity this period. The spend is already committed; none of the work has arrived.

Aristo activates before it reclaims — the first move on a seat ready to activate is to switch it on, turning spend you have already made into work, rather than to take it away.

How every number on this page was arrived at, and what is not measured yet

Counted means read directly from your Microsoft license records or usage signals — a seat is active when it shows recent, qualifying activity, not when a license has been assigned to it. Estimate means an assessment Aristo made and labeled as one. Every figure above carries the weaker of the words that apply to it.

The three cohorts do not share a denominator and are never added together. Credit-ready and Never started are counted out of your Copilot seats; Cooling off is counted out of the people Aristo has actually met in Teams, which is a different and usually smaller population. Each figure prints what it is counted out of, directly underneath it.

The seat movement on this page is the same subtraction the Home command center and the Executive Summary print, read from one shared reading rather than computed here — so no two surfaces of this product can state a different movement for the same run.

Movement is measured for the organization, not per team. A persisted run stores the estate's counts of active seats and of seats ready to activate, not a figure per department, so no team row on this page carries an arrow — a per-team trend would have to be invented, and an invented trend is the one thing a team leader would act on hardest.
1 team row could not be shaded for seats in use: the counted utilization join has not reached it, or it is the privacy-merged aggregate. It is shown with an em dash rather than a guess.
