PRs measure effort, not outcome, so it’s a measure that their developers+ai spent 24% more effort than just devs previously (assuming the average work that went into a PR didn’t change, which is also a big assumption. maybe those PRs were smaller or more complex on average than before). so the uplift isn’t really tracked here. time to market, average cycle time per change, number of incidents per ticket released etc would be more meaningful metrics for uplift
