When AI Shifted the Bottleneck: A Field Study of 250 Engineers
AI boosted developer output across a 250-engineer organization – a measured +14% productivity gain. But only +6% reached delivery. The other 8 points evaporated somewhere between "code written" and "code shipped." This is a field study of what happened next: how the team traced the leak to code review, what two changes they made (neither touched their AI tooling), and which numbers they're now watching to see if the gap closes.AI boosted developer output across a 250-engineer organization – a measured +14% productivity gain.

We Don’t Run DevEx Surveys. We Run a Delivery Improvement System.
