We had an AI quality metric that was stable across model tiers, improved when we refined the system, and measured something tied to proprietary knowledge. Then we built a counterfeit with almost none of the relevant expertise and it scored 0.99. A metric is not trustworthy because the real system passes. It becomes trustworthy when the fake fails.
The DORA 2026 ROI report names the productivity dip of AI adoption and prices it. The verification tax it names is the same cost vibe coding pushes onto a tired reviewer.
