Function-level tool evidence
How tools shape work
This view uses safe tool categories and aggregate states to explain how work moves through the function digital estate. It does not show individual app usage or productivity rankings.

Safe categories and proportions
Usage shares are shown only when safe. Suppressed values remain visible as protected aggregate states instead of zero or blank cells.
| Tool label | Category | Share | Confidence | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CRM | Customer system | 22% | High confidence | Function-level reporting inside agreed Northstar boundary. |
| Spreadsheet | Productivity | 18% | High confidence | Function-level reporting inside agreed Northstar boundary. |
| Messaging | Collaboration | 14% | Medium confidence | Function-level reporting inside agreed Northstar boundary. |
| Below-threshold toolsRare or sensitive tools are aggregated to avoid exposing small slices. | Aggregate | Suppressed | Not applicable confidence | Rare or sensitive tool observations are aggregated. |
Switching flows
Function-level movement between tools
Flow order is preserved from the workspace contract. Qualitative or source-not-ready switching signals stay qualitative.
Material
The same evidence moves between systems before it becomes decision-ready.
