# Anthropic

**Role in the source:** Cited twice — as a research source and as a practice exemplar.

1. **Research:** An Anthropic study found **69% of professionals** experience social stigma around AI use at work — the evidentiary basis for [[claim-stigma-drives-silence]] and the Reputational Cost in [[framework-costs-of-ai-visibility]].
2. **Practice:** Anthropic's **Claude Code team** is credited with pioneering [[concept-side-quests]] — sanctioned, self-directed AI experiments outside the official roadmap — the model behind [[action-legitimize-experimentation]].

**Enrichment / canonical anchor:** Anthropic (the maker of Claude / Claude Code), relevant here for both its stigma research and its side-quests practice for safe, controlled AI experimentation at work.
