Methodology

The figures come from answers to the digital independence diagnostic available on this site and on vesio.app since November 2025 (24 questions, 5 dimensions: email, data, identity, devices, security).

Statistics are aggregated anonymously; no individual result is ever published. Usage is self-reported. The independence score runs from 0 (total dependence) to 100 (full autonomy).
