The Hidden Costs of AI Velocity: Findings from our 90 day internal experiment.
We recently completed a controlled study comparing an AI-enabled team against a standard team over three months. While the AI-assisted team saw a 20% boost in feature delivery (story points), it came at a cost, code review time spiked by 35% and technical debt metrics increased. It seems that AI-driven speed might be creating a "downstream tax" on maintainability. Has anyone else found that AI acceleration simply moves the bottleneck from writing code to reviewing and maintaining it?
