Why this matters for Candid: Directional corroboration of Pendo 2019 Feature Adoption Report: 80% of software-product features rarely or never used (615 subscriptions analyzed). The two figures come from different methodologies a decade apart and point the same way — feature adoption is much lower than scope conversations assume.
