I’ve been watching our AI tool line items creep up over the last 18 months. In the beginning, the Board was happy with "exploration" and "productivity gains," but the honeymoon phase feels like it's over.

Lately, the questions are getting much sharper: "Where is the headcount reduction?" or "Which specific OpEx line did this actually shrink?"

The reality is that while my team is "faster," we haven't seen a clear 1:1 correlation on the P&L yet. Are you guys actually finding ways to hard-code AI savings into your reporting, or is everyone still just "winging it" with time-saved metrics that don't actually show up in the bank account?

Curious what your "AI Slide" looks like in board decks right now.
