GitHub adds industry comparisons to the Copilot impact dashboard

GitHub says the Copilot impact dashboard now has an "Industry comparison" section. Enterprises, and organizations not owned by an enterprise, can compare their Copilot agentic adoption and leverage with aggregated benchmarks from participating peers. Participation is opt-in and off by default.

• What it shows: the share of users who are agent-first or multi-agent, and how the pull request merge rate of agentic users compares with that of nonagentic users. Scores are ranked against the peer median for the 28-day reporting period, and against the top decile as the peer group grows.
• Peer groups: by company size (1–999, 1,000–4,999 or 5,000+ employees) and one of ten industries. If an industry's group is too small, the comparison widens to all industries for that company size.
• Opt in: from the dashboard or through enterprise or organization Copilot policies; both use the same policy, so turning it off in either place stops both contributing data and seeing comparisons.
• Limits: rankings appear only once enough businesses have opted in. Comparisons refresh daily, and aggregated benchmarks are deleted after 30 days. With data residency on GitHub Enterprise Cloud, organizations are compared only within their region. The comparisons appear only in the dashboard, not in the usage metrics API or exports.
