**Target operating model — recommended contracts, not installed collection.** All owner and cadence entries below are proposals to confirm before the pilot, not assigned responsibilities or approved schedules.

**Unimplemented metric — no live telemetry.** This is a prospective contract, not an implemented calculation or collector.

{/* contract:start */}
Eligible participants with at least one approved-skill workflow use; usefulness assessed separately through accepted outcomes and feedback.

| Contract | Definition |
| --- | --- |
| Numerator | Distinct eligible pseudonymous participants with workflow-linked skill.used on approved revision |
| Denominator | Distinct eligible participants in frozen invited cohort |
| Expression | N / D * 100 |
| Aggregation | percent |
| Unit | % |
| Eligible population | Consented or otherwise lawfully enrolled pilot cohort for the period; supported workflow available. |
| Exclusions | Outside pilot and formally recorded leave before period; nonresponders remain eligible, not excluded. |
| Events and source | skill.used; cohort.snapshot; optional qualified client adapter or declaration |
| Owner / cadence | Data & AI / Monthly |
| Missing evidence | Show observed lower bound and telemetry/response coverage; missing usage unknown rather than non-use. |
| Gaming and limits | Invocation quotas and coercion; no target usage count, split server/client/self-report origins. Descriptive signal, not causal AI productivity attribution. Source completeness, task mix and sampling limit inference; report uncertainty. Self-report is not verified use; installation/loading is not use or benefit. Suppress small groups. |

Read the shared [collection and safeguards](./collection-and-safeguards.mdx) before collecting data; see the [synthetic example and limits](./synthetic-example.mdx).

Return to [Skills Measurement](./index.mdx).

In [Stage 01](../stage-01-skills-adoption.mdx), authorization to test an experimental revision is not general approved status. This contract counts approved-revision use only; do not relabel experimental pilot use to raise its numerator. [Adoption](../skills-adoption.mdx) still evaluates that pilot through independent work outcomes and [Quality's fitness evidence](../skills-quality.mdx). Use this reach measure only where its approved-revision population applies.
