Today a boss came to talk to me about AI transformation. He thought the company had already built some foundation, like how many hours employees use AI tools on average and how many tokens they consume. I told him those are just numbers your subordinates use to fool you. When they’re reported, every layer fabricates them, so they mean nothing.
To judge how far a company has really gone with AI, there are only three metrics: 1. How many people in the company have used Claude Code; 2. How much information has been stored in Markdown format; 3. How many business workflows have started to become skill-based.
