Interview sources

What these sources show — Microsoft Digital’s October and July 2026 accounts describe internal IT support research and knowledge maintenance. They are first-party operating accounts, not a published support interview loop or AI-use permission for candidates.

Roles and evidence limits — Chaitrasri Rao works for Designit, which contributed research and design. David Finney’s excerpt is an example of what an agent should tell a user. Knowledge-platform savings in the July story are projections, not achieved results; no causal performance claim is used here.
