These scenarios are not guarantees. They show the most likely path, the upside path, and the downside path based on the evidence available now.
The most likely path, plus upside and downside
Without broad adoption of Google Apps Script among mid-sized organizations, the efficiency gains will remain minimal, resulting in only a 10% productivity increase.
In an optimistic scenario, rapid adoption of Apps Script leads to a 35% increase in productivity as companies innovate their workflow processes.
In a pessimistic case, resistance to change in established workflows results in negligible impacts from the new features, leading to a mere 5% productivity increase.
