Evidence snapshot for San Francisco

San Francisco has deployed two technology-focused practices with documented scale but limited independent outcome verification. ShelterConnect provides free WiFi across 24 shelters and supportive-housing buildings, serving roughly 16,000 monthly users and 150,000 annually, though these figures combine WiFi and service-directory usage rather than isolating impact. San Francisco's Citywide Microsoft 365 Copilot Rollout scaled from a 2,000-employee pilot to nearly 30,000 city workers by mid-2026, logging over 1 million interactions, but productivity gains rest on self-reported pilot surveys without independent verification or published city-wide service-delivery metrics.
