The problem that I'm finding in my own work on figuring out the impact of AI is that there's just no reliable way to connect things directly to AI usage. Most of the tooling does things like "The user used AI on the same day that they opened this PR, therefore we'll assume the AI was used to write the code in the PR." In a mature AI-driven org that might be true, but in the rollout phase of an AI experiment it absolutely isn't.

Until there's a good way to fix that gap in the data any measure of AI impact is going to be horribly flawed.

Completely disable the usage of AI for time period t. Compare the impact on whatever before t and during t.
