+15–20%
Capacity absorbed without new headcount
AI was deployed org-wide. Adoption looked strong. But leadership couldn't answer the board's real question: is AI making us faster, or just generating code that reviewers have to clean up? Without quality-adjusted measurement, AI spend was compounding without feedback — and so were the wrong hiring decisions.
“The board was asking about AI ROI, particularly in relation to hiring decisions. We needed per-team scenarios, not a single number that collapses under the first hard question.”

Two teams proved ready to absorb 15–20% more delivery without new hires. A third team's hidden review tax was caught and corrected early. Per-team capacity scenarios replaced the indefensible org-wide average — giving the board evidence, not opinions.
