summary for non-techies**
Microsoft 365 has enhanced its Adoption Score feature to include a detailed scoring system for the new AI capabilities called Copilot, allowing teams to track and benchmark their use of AI features across apps like Teams, Outlook, and Office, similar to how a smart coffee machine tracks usage and variety of drinks.
Direct effects for Operations**
Increased User Confusion
Without proper preparation and communication, users may be confused by the new metrics and scoring model, leading to frustration and decreased productivity as they adapt to the changes.

2025-04-17 | MC How Affect | The updated AI Assistance score (preview) introduces:
Improved scoring model: the revised score takes into account a much wider range of M365 Copilot features as compared with V1, including usage of M365 Copilot Chat and all M365 Copilot capabilities across Teams, Outlook, and Office apps. As new Copilot features are released in these apps, usage of them automatically accrues to the score. As a result, tenants will see a much higher score as compared with V1, and efforts to grow adoption should lead more directly to score gains. Peer Benchmarking: Customers can compare their score to peers in their industry, consistent with other Adoption Score categories. Expanded secondary insights: V2 includes new feature-level usage metrics for Microsoft 365 Copilot features such as M365 Copilot Chat (work) as well as a histogram summarizing the number of days during which users were active in Copilot over the past month. Time Trends: Customers can view how key M365 Copilot usage metrics (including the score itself) are trending over time, going back up to 180 days. These insights provide Adoption Specialists and IT admins with a more comprehensive view of Copilot engagement, helping them drive adoption and measure success. | The updated AI adoption score (preview) introduces:
