An observational analysis of 107 companies over 35 months.

Five patterns observed across
107 companies

  • Across 75 companies where non-mandatory training could be isolated, median MAU was 23%. This is the sample median, not an average or top-performer figure.

  • For 60 companies observed beyond month 25, median non-mandatory MAU was 19%. This descriptive statistic supports planning for long-running operations.

  • Publishing 10 or more items per month correlated with MAU of 50% or more, while fewer than 3 correlated with MAU below 20%. Observational data does not establish causation.

  • Across 6 companies with comparable before-and-after data, the median MAU decline after compliance training was −50 percentage points. The sample is too small to generalize.

  • Training type, mandatory status, organization size, and operating duration vary. Read each metric with its sample size and observation scope, and do not interpret correlation as causation.

1
Read samples separately
The full 107 companies and each metric's n are different.
2
Distinguish medians from cases
23% and 19% are medians; 95%→8% is one case.
3
Do not turn correlation into cause
The cadence–MAU relationship is an observed correlation.
4
Do not guarantee another organization's result
Training type, organization size, and duration can change outcomes.

Samples and observation scope

The number of usable companies differs by metric, so each sample must be read separately.

107

All observed companies

The analysis followed 107 companies in 8 industries for up to 35 months. Not every company appears in every metric.

75

Non-mandatory sample

Across 75 companies where mandatory participation could be separated, median MAU was 23%.

60

Long-running sample

Across 60 companies observed beyond month 25, median non-mandatory MAU was 19%.

Key metrics and interpretation

Each figure is descriptive data for the observed sample and does not guarantee another organization's outcome.

Metric Observed value Interpretation scope
Non-mandatory MAU Median 23% · n=75 Sample separating mandatory participation
Long-running MAU Median 19% · n=60 Sample after month 25
Content cadence 10+/month ↔ MAU 50%+ Correlation, not causation
Low content cadence Fewer than 3/month ↔ MAU below 20% Correlation, not causation
After compliance training Median decline −50%p · n=6 Small sample; do not generalize
