Microsoft Power Platform is used by more than 3.4 million citizen developers and business decision-makers.

Judged as of 2020-04-30. True if Microsoft's official disclosures from around that date (e.g., the FY20 Q3 earnings call or materials, or dated Microsoft announcements) report Power Platform usage of more than 3.4 million citizen developers and business decision-makers (or the equivalent user metric). Mostly true if the official figure is about 3.4 million (e.g., 3.3–3.5 million), or if the figure counts a slightly different group of users than stated. Mixed if official figures for the period differ materially but are in the same order (e.g., 2.5–3.2 million). Mostly false if the figure exists but refers to a clearly different metric or period, overstating the claim. False if official figures from the time show a substantially lower count (e.g., under 2.5 million) or contradict the claim.

   “There are 3.5 million people using Power Platform today to create applications, bots, workflows, dashboards.”

Microsoft's FY20 Q3 earnings release (E3, E5) says Power Platform usage increased, but the quoted text gives no user count. The only figures come from later Microsoft statements: Nadella's Build keynote on May 19, 2020 (E8) and a Microsoft Tech Community blog post from June 2020 (E2). Both give about 3.5 million users. These Microsoft statements were made weeks after the claim, so they do not directly show the user count as of April 30, 2020. They fit the claim but do not settle it under the criteria.
