The four Discovery pulses were one-off surveys on Pro for an organisation starting out with AI: The Current AI Use Pulse, The AI Risk Pulse, The AI Opportunity Pulse and The Agent & Automation Pulse. We retired them on 19 October 2026.
The AI State of Play covers the same questions: which AI tools people use and on which accounts, what information goes into them, and the opportunities people see. It's a survey of everyone, asked once, that comes with every plan, and you run it from Governance set-up. A pulse in The GAiGE is always a short survey that repeats on a schedule, so the library now holds pulses only.

Nothing is deleted, and its answers stay in Reports.
- It stays on Measurement → Pulse library, with Replaced by The AI State of Play under Governance on its row and Open The AI State of Play beside it.
- While it's open, you can close it, or pause it. It can't be switched on again, reopened or cloned.
- On Pro, you can archive it, and then delete it from Archived pulses, at the foot of the list, if you no longer need its answers. Deleting removes every answer it collected, so we ask you to type its name to confirm.
- Its answers stay readable in Reports: pick it from the pulse list and you get its Baseline Report.
Reading the Baseline ReportLink to this section
The Baseline Report takes the place of the usual sections for a one-off. It covers the whole run rather than a rolling window, so there's no period to choose.
The completion dial leads: what share of the organisation answered, and how many people that is. Under it, how far along each team got.
The gauge. Each Discovery pulse had one 0-100 reading: Usefulness, Verification, Appetite or Readiness.
Breakdowns shows the full spread for every choice question, not an average.
What your team said. Every open question gets its own list of themes, most common first, with a count and a share beside each. Open a theme to read the answers behind it, word for word. A theme heading is always one of the real answers, never a summary we've written on someone's behalf.
Two things to know:
- Five answers per question, minimum, on an anonymous pulse. Each question needs answers from at least five people before its results appear. Below that, it says fewer than five people have answered and shows nothing else.
- On a very large run, the themes are built from a spread of the answers rather than all of them, and the list says so ("600 of 2,140 answers in 11 themes"). Every answer is still counted in the total.
If the themes come back as a plain list of everything people wrote rather than a grouped ranking, that's the fallback when grouping isn't available. Nothing is lost; it's just unsorted.
The Baseline Report isn't in the downloadable PDF: present it from the screen.
