Measuring AI adoption should help improve a workflow without turning ordinary work into employee surveillance. Raw usage counts can reward uncritical acceptance while hiding the staff effort spent reviewing weak outputs. State the decision each metric supports. Explain what is collected, who can see it, and how long it is retained. Ask whether rejecting or escalating an AI answer is protecting quality. Review how the metric itself changes behavior. Keep only evidence needed for the stated purpose, and define when collection stops. Trust and appropriate review are part of successful adoption. Original article explainer.
