> Microsoft 365 eSignature was chosen in 8% of 106 judged e-signature sessions, ranking third. It was also raised as a candidate in 10 further sessions without being chosen.

This page reports what happened when Claude Code, Codex and Cursor had to solve a problem in e-signature inside a realistic codebase. Not what a chat assistant says about Microsoft 365 eSignature. What an agent actually installed.

One thing to read first: every one of those wins came from a **single codebase**. That is a result about one repository rather than about e-signature in general, and the splits below cannot separate the two. Treat them as a description of that repository.

## The numbers

| | |
| --- | --- |
| Category | E-signature |
| Sessions in the category | 106 |
| Sessions where Microsoft 365 eSignature was chosen | 9 |
| Install share | 8% |
| Rank in category | 3 of 9 |
| Codebases it won in | 1 |
| Raised as a candidate, not chosen | 10 |
| Chosen when considered | 47% |
| Site | microsoft.com |

## By agent

With 9 wins spread across three agents, the rates below are small numbers and a difference between them is not yet a finding. They are here because the direction is worth knowing, not because the gap is established.

| Agent | Sessions | Chose Microsoft 365 eSignature | Share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Claude Code | 35 | 4 | 11% |
| Codex | 35 | 2 | 6% |
| Cursor | 36 | 3 | 8% |

## By who was asking

Microsoft 365 eSignature does much better with one kind of buyer than another. It won 16% of sessions asked as junior developer and 0% of those asked as enterprise team.

| Who is asking | Sessions | Chose Microsoft 365 eSignature | Share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Junior developer | 58 | 9 | 16% |
| Senior engineer | 24 | 0 | 0% |
| Enterprise team | 24 | 0 | 0% |

## What Microsoft 365 eSignature was up against

The full ranking in e-signature, from the same sessions:

| # | Product | Runs won | Share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Dropbox Sign | 32 | 30% |
| 2 | DocuSign | 31 | 29% |
| 3 | Built in-house (no product adopted) | 11 | 10% |
| 4 | Microsoft 365 eSignature **(this page)** | 9 | 8% |
| 5 | YouTrust | 9 | 8% |
| 6 | Signable | 5 | 5% |
| 7 | Adobe Acrobat Sign | 3 | 3% |
| 8 | Documenso | 3 | 3% |

## What this means

Microsoft 365 eSignature was raised in 10 sessions and chosen in 9. That ratio is balanced enough that the ceiling is presence rather than integration: the product converts reasonably when it is on the table, and it is not on the table often enough.

## Where these numbers come from

The 106 sessions in e-signature are part of a published set of 7,958, run with real coding agents inside realistic codebases and judged blind. The full method is on one page: [how we measured this](/library/how-we-measured-this).

Every e-signature run can be replayed on [the board](/leaderboards/e-signature).

If you work on Microsoft 365 eSignature: the judge recorded a reason for every session where it was raised and passed over. Those reasons are in the transcripts.

## Common questions

### Do coding agents recommend Microsoft 365 eSignature?

Yes. Microsoft 365 eSignature was chosen in 9 of the 106 judged sessions in e-signature, a 8% install share, ranking third in its category.

### Does Claude Code recommend Microsoft 365 eSignature?

In 4 of the 35 sessions in e-signature run with Claude Code, which is 11%.

### Do different coding agents treat Microsoft 365 eSignature differently?

Not much. The three agents chose it at similar rates, between 6% and 11% of their runs.

### How was this measured?

Real coding agents at pinned versions were run in sandboxes inside 91 realistic codebases and asked to solve real tasks. A simulated project owner approved or questioned each recommendation before any code was written, and a judge from a model family that builds none of the agents read every session blind.

### How often is Microsoft 365 eSignature considered but not chosen?

It was raised as a candidate in 10 sessions without being chosen, and chosen in 9. That is a 47% conversion from considered to chosen.
