Every figure in this report is counted, estimated or assumed — and says which.

Aristo makes this score. Microsoft defines what a Frontier Firm is; Aristo measures how close this organization is, out of 100. It is not a Microsoft benchmark.

Your organization sets the target and approves each move. No one can type the score in. Your target: 85 of 100, Frontier, by 1 February 2027.

About every four weeks: Aristo starts a new count once the last one is 27 days old and the new figures are in. Last count: run 4 on 24 September 2026.

This reading is 78 of 100 — Advancing; up 4 points from 74 at the counted run on 25 August 2026. Source: Frontier Firm Report, run 4, 24 September 2026.

Three parts, read from your organization's own Microsoft 365 once it is connected: Adoption, how far AI use has spread among your people (50 of the 100 points); Activation, how many of your assigned Copilot seats are in use (25); Security, your Microsoft Secure Score (25). This run: Adoption 78 of 100, Activation 68, Security 88. All three are illustrative.
