What the numbers mean
Short, citable definitions of every measure used in Torii Research.
- Shadow IT index
A 0 to 100 score for how often an app is used without being sanctioned by IT. Higher means the app is more often left as discovered shadow IT.
- Adoption
The percentage of monitored organizations where an app was adopted during the month measured.
- Rank change
The number of places an app moved since the previous published edition of the same index.
- Viral score
A 0 to 10 score for how fast an app is spreading across workplaces.
- Days to double
The average number of days for an app's user count to double inside an organization.
- Compliance claims
Whether an app's vendor publicly claims SOC 2, ISO 27001, or GDPR compliance.
- Edition
One release of an index. The Shadow IT Index, AI Breakout, and Adoption Index are monthly; the Viral App Radar is annual.
- AI-native
An app built around AI: one in an AI theme (assistants, agents, coding and building, notes and voice, content and media), or an AI-first app in another theme.
