Enterprises owned and governed by their members, one member one vote, as the International Cooperative Alliance's Statement on the Cooperative Identity defines them: credit unions, farm, worker, consumer and housing cooperatives, mutual insurers. By the sectors of the ICA World Cooperative Monitor. It has no schema of its own: companies here are mapped on the Universal schema, and what it does not cover is recorded as gaps.

Estimate from public data: the share of mapped organizations that run this on software. Not a recommendation.

The rule, the same for every industry: with 5 or more organizations having the primitive, 50% or more of them on software is high, 20% or more medium, below that low. With fewer, the level rests on the primitive's layer alone and says "Layer only". Software parts are counted once per organization; a detected technology is named by its product. See the blueprint for which organizations run each.
Counts of what public research has found and sourced, each part with its source on the organization’s profile. They say what is known, not how much of the industry exists.
Focused research on the organizations with the fewest mapped parts in cooperatives and mutuals; what it finds is public for everyone.
