Microsoft's reviewed profile brings together federal filings about computer policy, telecommunications, science and technology, security, labor, tax, energy, education, and trade. It was selected because the packet combines substantial issue breadth with many outside-firm relationships, allowing both quarter comparison and network exploration. The recurring computer-industry category anchors the current assessment, while source-language checks distinguish broad technology reporting from explicit AI or privacy references.

Gov Influence analytical brief
Bottom-line assessment
Gov Influence assessmentModerate confidence
Computer Industry was a sustained component of Microsoft’s reported federal policy activity in the reviewed period.
CPI appeared in 17 retained filings across both quarters; the full profile spans 21 official issue codes and 32 filings.
Evidence and reasoning
Reasoning: The same official issue code appears in independently filed records in both comparable quarters, so the pattern is broader than a one-time reference. Its recurrence, read alongside the profile’s filing and issue coverage, supports a bounded assessment of sustained attention—not a conclusion about policy position, priority, access, effectiveness, or influence.
Scope: 2026 Q1–Q2, within the reviewed Gov Influence collection for Microsoft.
Other plausible interpretation
The recurrence may partly reflect the breadth of the official CPI category and the selected two-quarter window; it does not establish a longer-term trend or show that this subject outranked every other concern.
A broad computer, science, or telecommunications code is not automatically evidence that a filing concerned AI or privacy; the detailed evidence preserves the actual wording.
Why this matters
What the pattern adds to the record
Computer-industry reporting recurs across the reviewed quarters, but the wider filing set reaches well beyond that category and shows why code-level and text-level readings belong together.
Supporting analysis
Key findings
Calculated from recordsHigh confidence
Microsoft’s organization-expense and outside-firm-income fields are compared separately.
Organization-reported expenses increased by $300,000; outside-firm-reported income increased by $90,000.
Evidence and reasoning
Reasoning: The comparison evaluates the same measure across Q1 and Q2 only when both quarters have complete numeric inputs. Organization-reported expenses and outside-firm income use different reporting bases, so they remain separate; partial, below-threshold, absent, and non-applicable values are never converted to zero or combined.
Scope: 2026 Q1–Q2, within the reviewed Gov Influence collection for Microsoft.
Microsoft’s reviewed filings span 21 official issue codes.
The highest filing frequency is 17, for CPI; codes can overlap within a filing and measure subject breadth rather than importance.
Evidence and reasoning
Reasoning: The calculation counts each official LDA issue code once per retained filing, allows different codes to overlap, and uses deterministic code-order tie handling. Breadth and frequency describe how source records are categorized; they do not reveal position, intensity, or success.
Scope: 2026 Q1–Q2, within the reviewed Gov Influence collection for Microsoft.
16 reviewed outside-firm relationships are visible in Microsoft’s retained filings.
30 retained filings identify one of those approved firm registrant IDs and a client name admitted by Microsoft’s exact-name rule.
Evidence and reasoning
Reasoning: Each relationship requires both a reviewed registrant identity and an organization client name admitted by the exact-name rule in the same canonical filing. The count maps disclosed firm-client structure only; it does not establish access, coordination, effectiveness, or activity outside this collection.
Scope: 2026 Q1–Q2, within the reviewed Gov Influence collection for Microsoft.
Microsoft’s retained filing count increased between the reviewed quarters.
32 canonical filings are included: 15 in 2026 Q1 and 17 in 2026 Q2.
Evidence and reasoning
Reasoning: This count groups canonical filings by their reported quarter after the reviewed exact-alias and amendment-selection rules. The comparison measures retained filing frequency in this collection, not effort, spending, access, effectiveness, or policy impact.
Scope: 2026 Q1–Q2, within the reviewed Gov Influence collection for Microsoft.
Microsoft offers a strong test of how a technology-focused organization can appear across many federal policy categories without reducing every filing to a single theme. Its reviewed records connect the company to a comparatively broad outside-firm network and include both broad technology codes and more specific source wording. That makes the profile useful for comparing recurrence, issue breadth, and the difference between an official category and the narrower subject a filer actually described.
What this edition covers: The analysis uses retained Microsoft Corporation filings from Q1 and Q2 2026, preserving each official code, description, registrant, and amount state.

Context, not causation
Why these records are connected
Issue pages are connected through reviewed filing codes. Other categories appear only when a separate identity or subject link passed review.
Why connected: 13 of 32 retained filings from 2026 Q1 through 2026 Q2 carry at least one of this issue page's reviewed codes (BUD, TAX).
This code match explains the pathway. It does not show a position, coordinated activity, political importance, or an effect on policy.
