- Results use the source's own numbers. Each entry has an evidence label and at least one caveat.
- Industries are grouped from each entry's industry field. The "people in the loop" share is a simple keyword count over each entry's summary, outcome, and caveats.
- This is not a random sample. It covers deployments that someone chose to make public, which leans toward successes.
