The exact change
The platform has grown from an internal Microsoft productivity experiment into a commercial force that Forrester Research estimated contributed $23.1 billion in value to the global market in 2023. With over 30 million monthly active users as of 2024... / "The digital skills gap is real..." -- Charles Lamanna, Corporate Vice President of Power Platform at Microsoft, from the Microsoft Business Applications Summit 2023 / "Governance is the make-or-break factor for enterprise Power Platform deployments..." -- Mikael Svenson, Microsoft MVP and author of the Power Platform Adoption Framework, from the Power Platform Community Summit 2023
The platform has grown from an internal Microsoft productivity experiment into a commercial force used by a large and growing base of organizations worldwide. With a substantial and expanding monthly active user base... / The digital skills gap is real. Organizations have thousands of business experts who understand processes deeply but cannot write code. Power Platform inverts that problem: it meets people where their expertise is and lets the business logic drive the solution, not the technology. (attribution removed) / Governance is the make-or-break factor for enterprise Power Platform deployments. (attribution removed)
Suggested change
Removed the fabricated dollar figure and specific user count, replacing with accurate qualitative language about the platform's growth; de-attributed both quotes to plain unattributed prose; removed the now-orphaned Forrester, Lamanna, and Svenson reference-list entries (the Forrester TEI study reference no longer supported any claim in the corrected text) and renumbered remaining references.
Why this is better
4 verified fabrications: a precise '$23.1 billion' Forrester market-value figure that does not match the type of output a Total Economic Impact study produces (single-org ROI, not global market value) and has no locatable matching source; an uncited specific '30 million monthly active users' figure; an unverified quote attributed to real Microsoft VP Charles Lamanna citing a specific summit with no verifiable source; an unverified quote attributed to real Microsoft MVP Mikael Svenson citing a specific summit with no verifiable source. Removed the unverified dollar figure and user count, replacing with accurate qualitative growth language; de-attributed both quotes; removed the now-orphaned Forrester, Lamanna, and Svenson reference-list entries.
