Usage quality

How AI is used

Mister IA
quality score
out of 100 · Panel average
47.9/ 100
September 2026

The Mister IA quality score rates, out of 100, the quality of each active user's AI usage: the context they give the tool, the length and depth of their exchanges, and their use of skills, files and connected tools. The calculation method is Mister IA's own. The published value is the average across the Panel's active users: it is the “Mister IA client average” benchmark that each client sees in its own dashboard.

Methodology

How these indicators are built

The licence base

Mister IA manages over 10,000 AI licences for its clients, Claude and ChatGPT only, and produces usage statistics on a very regular basis. The indicators are calculated on this entire base.

Active user

An active user is a licence holder who used the tool at least once in the month. All ratios are per active user, not per licence.

The quality score

A score out of 100 for the quality of each active user's AI usage, calculated by Mister IA; the published value is the Panel average. Measured since August 2026.

Aggregates, never a single client

Every figure is based on at least ten clients; no client can be identified. Updated every month; next measurement: early November 2026.
