Edition
One release of an index. The Shadow IT Index, AI Breakout, and Adoption Index are monthly; the Viral App Radar is annual.
How it's calculated
Each edition ranks apps from a recent period of usage data. Where a report states its data period, it appears under its takeaways.
How to read it
Compare editions of the same index over time, and open an app's profile to see every edition it appears in.
Example
The latest edition is Adoption Index: October 2026, published October 8, 2026. See the report →
