✨ AI Impact: Measure How AI Tools Are Affecting Your Engineering Delivery
Leanmote now includes
AI Impact
— a dedicated dashboard available in both Performance Delivery
and Project Financials
that answers the question every engineering leader is asking: "Are our AI tools actually making the team deliver better and faster?"

## AI Impact in Performance Delivery
The AI Impact section in Performance Delivery is split into two views:
### Delivery Correlation
This view connects AI usage data directly to your team's delivery metrics, surfacing three key signals:
- AI Impact Trend:Tracks whether days with higher AI intensity also produce better delivery outcomes — higher throughput and more frequent deployments. The signal is labeled clearly:Positive,Mixed, orNegative, so you know at a glance if AI is helping or not.
- Adoption Effect:Compares throughput per user-day between engineers with low and high AI adoption. A positive adoption effect means your heavier AI users are consistently shipping more.
- Assisted vs Delegated LOC:Breaks down AI-generated code into two categories:
-
Assisted
— lines produced via tab-style completions (e.g., Copilot suggestions accepted by the developer)-
Delegated
— lines written directly by an AI agent flow, with minimal manual editingThis distinction matters: delegation is a stronger signal of AI reliance than assistance. The dashboard shows the split as a percentage and tracks how it evolves over time.
- AI vs Bugs Correlation:A risk signal that checks whether increased AI usage is moving together with a higher bug rate or change failure rate — helping you catch quality regressions early.
### Adoption & Usage (AI Impact - Others)
This view gives you the raw adoption data behind the signal:
- Active users, interactions, code generations, acceptances, and acceptance rate— all in one place
- LOC Suggested— total lines of code AI offered across the team
- Breakdowns by:top features used, programming languages, AI models, and IDEs
- Per-user table:see individual stats for each engineer — generations, acceptance rate, primary IDE, and top models
## AI Impact in Project Financials
The AI Impact tab in Project Financials adds a financial lens to AI usage:
- AI Cost vs Deployments:A weekly chart that plots your AI tool spend against deployment output, surfacing a clear ROI signal —Positive,Mixed, orNegative.
- Spend breakdown:Total AI spend for the period, monthly cost across all seats, and — importantly — the portion of AI spend attributable to bugs (spend that went toward work that introduced or fixed defects).
- Adoption Overview:Classifies your engineers into segments —Power,Casual,Idle,New, andUnlicensed— so you can understand the health of your AI rollout and identify who might need more support or training.
## How to Connect AI Data
AI Impact works with
GitHub Copilot
(with Copilot telemetry enabled) and Claude Code Teams
. Once connected via Productivity Tools, metrics appear automatically — no additional setup needed.## Why It Matters
AI tools represent a significant and growing investment for engineering teams. AI Impact gives you the data to move beyond anecdotal evidence and measure — with real delivery and financial data — whether that investment is paying off.
