Try this now

Run the Analyzer pack twice (manual vs. AI) and compare the Overestimation Δ.

Common pitfall

Skipping reviewer verification time hides the real cost of rework and hallucinations.

Key takeaways

  • Run a manual vs. AI comparison to see actual lift.
  • Capture Overestimation Index and micro-TLX together.
  • Document what “good” looks like so teams can replicate it.
