Aristo's read Grounded in page evidence

Paid, active, cold and waiting populations are grouped above the privacy floor.

Why it matters
Teams can be helped without turning the workspace into employee surveillance.
Recommended action
Choose a cohort with enough evidence, then inspect its seat and usage position.

There is no row for a person on this page, by design: Aristo blends every team at five people or more before a leader sees it, and the only view of an individual this product has is the private page each person opens for themselves. That page is Your Aristo, and it opens only with that person's own sign-in.Saved views none yet on Users & teams
Why this workspace keeps none

This is the illustrative organisation — it is never written to, so there is nothing here to save. In your own tenant, naming a filter set keeps it for everyone who can open this workspace, and answers it with the numbers as they stand each time somebody opens it.

Comparison

These 12 groups hold 4,040 counted seats between them. The scale is seats, so a bar's length is a quantity rather than a rank.

Evidence & data — Counted seats and the share working, by department

Comparison

2,760 of 4,040 counted seats across these 12 groups are working. A long bar is a large group, not a problem; the amount of amber in it is the problem. Groups below 5 people were merged into one aggregate before this page saw them, so no bar here can be narrowed to a person.

These are the groups the counted utilisation join reached. A group without that join keeps its row in the table below with em dashes, rather than appearing here as a bar with an invented split.

Copilot seats by department. Every row is a group of 5 people or more; groups below the floor are merged into one aggregate row. Seats and utilisation are counted. Movement is stored for the organisation, not per group, so the movement column is empty by design rather than by omission.

Privacy floor, stated rather than assumed. No page of this product can name a person. Every row here is a team of 5 people or more, and every cohort is a count of a group. 1 team is withheld from the counted-utilisation column for the same reason. There is no per-person view, screen or export of anyone else in this system for any leader to pull.

Where the per-person view lives

It exists, it is one page, and it belongs to the person it is about.

Aristo does keep a per-person view: Your Aristo, at /me. It shows one person the minutes Aristo helped them take back, the wins they logged, and their own recognition setting — and it opens only with that person's own sign-in. There is no leader route to it, no directory of them, and no export that produces one.

Send your people the link, rather than asking Aristo which of them is using Copilot. It is the same product, seen from the side of the person doing the work.

Source: Aristo per-person page (delegated sign-in) As of: 2026-08-29 Reached with the individual's own credentials; no leader surface can open another person's.
How the grouping works, and what is not measured yet

Seats are counted per group from your Microsoft licence records joined to your directory. A group whose total counted seats fall below 5 is folded into one aggregate row, and that aggregate itself appears only once it reaches 5. Inside a shown group, a seat type held by fewer than 5 people reads "fewer than 5" — the type is disclosed, the count is withheld.

The organisation total above is the whole estate. The figures at the foot of the table are the total of the rows SHOWN, which is a smaller number wherever the floor has withheld something — the two are labelled differently for that reason and are never presented as the same figure.

  • Movement is measured for the organisation, not per team. A persisted run stores the estate's active and cold seat counts, not a figure per group, so no row on this page carries an arrow — a per-team trend would have to be invented.
  • Seat types are shown per group, and a type held by fewer than five people in that group shows as "fewer than 5" — the fact is shown, the count is withheld.
