Definition

Companies with at least one live countable detection of the technology, on any of their hosts, counted once each.

Rule

A company is counted once however many of its hosts carry the technology. The count is of companies, never of hosts and never of detections, and the share beside it is always against the companies in the index.

Denominator

The 55,418,736 companies in the index, printed beside every share.

Caveat

The long tail is real and is drawn, not hidden: 3,322 technologies reach 1,000 live roots, 711 reach 100,000 and 240 reach a million. A set that is truncated ends with the hatched remainder row.
