❌ The Problem
AI has entered engineering at scale. There are now hundreds of tools across the engineering lifecycle - from Cursor, Claude, Codex for coding to Greptile, CodeRabbit for review, and more emerging every week.
But the reality?
- Traditional developer metrics like PR counts and number of code reviews don’t tell the story anymore.
- Engineering orgs are becoming AI–human hybrid systems, yet leaders can’t measure impact, quality, or ROI.
- Even worse - if teams aren’t aligned to org OKRs, none of these tools matter. Misalignment between goals and execution kills impact.
At companies like Meta, Google, and Microsoft, 30%+ of code is now AI-generated, yet few organizations have visibility into which systems are actually driving outcomes.
