What VibeSense is

One number per person, team and department: how much more they finish with AI than the role did before it.

Read from the systems you already run — GitHub, Zendesk, Salesforce, NetSuite — never a survey. It only counts when quality held. Engineering, support, sales, finance, legal, marketing, healthcare.

What you get
  • Your number, every day — each person sees their own multiplier and next step first, in Slack, Teams or email
  • The enterprise ranked — departments, teams and roles on one 1×–10× ladder, live every day
  • The 10× playbook per role — what your top people do, as everyone's next step
  • The signed close, every month — cost per unit of work, per department, reconciled to the invoice
The question every CEO is now asked — and cannot answer from any screen they have

"We gave everyone AI. Who actually got faster, by how much, at what quality — and what did a unit of work cost us?"

Every vendor sells a seat and reports a login. Every department has a story. Nobody has one number per person, in every role, that says how much more work got finished — and whether it was any good. So the board hears "adoption is 80%" and the CFO sees a bill that grows every month.

What the CEO sees today

Adoption, not output

Seats bought, seats active, prompts per day, a survey that says people "feel more productive". Eight tools, eight dashboards, none of them about finished work.

Missing: a multiplier per person and per department, with quality held, that the company can be ranked on.
What the CFO sees today

A bill that moves

Seats plus consumption, across a dozen vendors, allocated by department weeks after the fact, with no link to what was produced.

Missing: the cost per finished unit of work, by department, month over month — signed.
What the department head sees today

Two people at 10×, forty at 1×

Everyone knows who the AI-native people are. Nobody knows what they do differently, or how to move the other forty.

Missing: the playbook — what the 10× people in this role actually do — delivered to the 1× people as their next step.
The number VibeSense produces for every person — and why no tool you run today can
multiplier=finished units of work this month÷the role's pre-AI baseline·only if quality held·at a cost per unit

Simple on paper. In practice it needs three answers that live in three different places:

1 · What counts as finished?A merged PR, a resolved ticket, a closed deal, a posted invoice, an executed contract, a clean claim — read from the system that records it. Never self-reported, never a survey.
2 · Was it good?Not reverted, not reopened, not corrected, not denied, not churned — read from the same systems, 30 days later. A multiplier only counts with quality held.
3 · What did it cost?The person's loaded time plus the AI spend they used, per finished unit — so a 5× person who burns 20× the tokens shows up as what they are.

What an adoption dashboard does

  • Counts seats and logins — never what got finished
  • Reports productivity from a survey, so everyone is "more productive"
  • Treats the 10× person and the 1× person as two active seats
  • Grows the bill with no number to defend it

What the AI Multiplier Index does

  • Puts one multiplier on every person, team and department, from finished work
  • Counts it only when quality held — reverts, reopens, denials, churn
  • Ranks the enterprise, then hands every 1× person the 10× playbook for their role
  • Prices every finished unit — people + AI — and signs it monthly
Why this week, not next quarter

Starting costs you an hour. Waiting costs you another planning cycle defended with an adoption chart.

Day 1Nothing changes

Read-only access to two systems of record — say GitHub + Jira, or Zendesk — and the admin analytics your AI tools already expose. Nothing on anyone's laptop.

Week 1You see your whole company on the ladder

Every department's multiplier, the seats producing nothing extra, the 10× people in each role. Free. Yours to keep.

Week 4A number your finance lead signs

Cost per unit of work on one department, quality held, under a method agreed on one page first. Also yours to keep.

Day 90The bar is in the contract

The first department's median up a rung with quality held — or the pilot fee is waived and we publish why.

What you riskAn hour. No credit card, no commitment until the pilot agreement, pricing locked for three years if you continue, and every tool you run today still runs tomorrow.
The ladder — four rungs, the same in every role

1× to 10× is not a slogan. It is four ways of working, and we can see which one each person is in.

The multiplier is measured from finished work. The rung is read from how the person works with AI — how much they delegate, how much they verify, how many agents they run. The rung predicts the multiplier, which is why it can be taught.

Plain wordsA 10× person is not working ten times harder. They have changed what the job is — from doing the work to directing and checking it. VibeSense finds those people in every role, measures them from finished work, and turns what they do into the next step for everyone else.

Four sample people · simulated for illustration ◌ — your index runs on your own systems

"Every AI vendor tells you how many seats are active. We tell you which of your people finished three times the work with the quality held — in every department — what each finished unit cost, and what to tell everyone else on Monday."

finished work · quality held · cost per unit · the playbook — seen every day · signed by finance every month

Every role — one index, eight branches

The same number in every department. Because every role already has a finished unit of work in a system you run.

The index is the same everywhere: finished units ÷ baseline, quality held, cost attached. What changes per branch is which system we read and what "finished" means. Software Intelligence is the first branch and the deepest — the one with agents writing a quarter of the work already.

Why this worksEvery one of these roles has a system of record that already says "finished" and already says "it came back". VibeSense reads that, never a self-report. Operations, procurement, claims, underwriting and clinical documentation follow the same pattern — a branch ships whenever a system of record exists.
Three Mondays — what actually changes for the people who use it

Same company, same tools, same people. One record underneath.

The VP of Support · Monday 9:00

"Who is actually good at this, and why?"

TodayOpens Zendesk, sees ticket counts. Opens the AI vendor's console, sees seats and prompts. Guesses that EMEA is better because the team lead says so.

With VibeSenseOpens the ranking: EMEA at 4.2×, Billing held at 1.5× because reopens crossed the bar. The five things EMEA's top agents do are already the next steps on every APAC agent's screen. One decision: approve playbook v4.
The CFO · month-end

"Why did the AI line grow 30% and what did we get?"

TodayEleven invoices, allocated by headcount, defended with an adoption slide. The board asks for ROI; finance has a bill and a feeling.

With VibeSenseOpens the close: $418K of AI spend, 84% in departments above 2×, 744 seats producing nothing extra (named), cost per unit −38%, quality held in 7 of 8. Signs it. Posts eight lines to NetSuite.
An engineer · Monday 9:00

"Is any of this measuring me?"

TodaySuspects the new AI dashboard is a leaderboard. Hears nothing about what the fast people on the team do differently. Review queue is three days deep.

With VibeSenseOpens their own view first: 2.6×, p72 in role, quality held, cost per PR $58. Three steps from the 9× engineers — run the deps agent, batch review at 10 and 15, cap batches at 30. Nobody else sees the line unless they choose.

Rankings are by department, team and role. Individuals are ranked only where the company's policy allows it — and every person sees their own number before anyone else does. The gap column is the product: the distance between the 10× people and the median is what the playbook closes.

Denials and prior auth are where the operator rung arrives first; coding follows once the playbook from the three 5.6× coders is approved by compliance.

Software Intelligence — the first branch, and the one nobody else has built this far

Engineering is where agents already do a quarter of the work. So this is where the index goes deepest.

Every engineering-metrics tool on the market counts what humans did in Git and correlates it with AI seats. VibeSense puts engineers and coding agents on one ladder, prices every merged PR all-in, and acts on it. Eight things you get in this branch that you cannot buy elsewhere:

1 · The numberCost per merged PR, all in

Tokens + author minutes + reviewer minutes + rework + incidents, per PR, per team, trended against the pre-AI baseline. Signed by finance.

nobody computes the human half
2 · The rosterEvery coding agent with an owner

Copilot agents, Cursor cloud agents, Claude Code, Codex, Devin, your own: owner, scope, cost per run, merge rate, defect rate. Agents are workers with managers.

nobody keeps the roster
3 · Earned autonomyReview levels the agent earns

Review-every → 1-in-4 → 1-in-10 → auto-merge, per agent per task class, on its own merge and revert record. Withdrawn the moment quality drifts. A CTO can sign it.

nobody lets autonomy be earned
4 · The debt ledgerQuality debt in dollars, flagged before merge

Duplication, churn, rework and incidents traced to the PR and the agent that wrote it, priced with your rates. A 40% throughput gain shows its liability beside it.

nobody prices it
5 · Review economicsAgent PRs routed where they earn it

Agent PRs wait 5× longer for review » — the 2027 bottleneck. Routed by reviewer load and expertise, batched when small, merged on their own when earned. Pushed to the tools you run.

the bottleneck, priced and routed
6 · The engineer playbookWhat the 10× engineers do, taught to the rest

Which agents they run, how they batch review, what they never hand to a model. Read from the top decile, proven on adopters, versioned. The bottom quartile's next step, every Monday.

nobody teaches it from the record
7 · Hire or multiplyHeadcount plans with agents as capacity

"Four engineers or forty agent-hours a month on tier-2 bugs?" — answered from your own cost per PR, defect rate and review capacity, not a vendor's claim.

planning across both kinds of worker
8 · Intelligence the agents useYour coding agents ask VibeSense before they work

Which model clears the bar in this repo, who can review today, what the budget and the debt threshold are — served to the agent before it opens a PR, and a receipt written after. The first intelligence platform agents depend on.

nobody serves the agent
Why engineering firstEngineering has the cleanest "finished" data (merged, reverted, incident), the earliest agent adoption and the most to lose in review queues. Every other branch inherits what engineering proves on your estate: the unit, the quality bar, the roster of agents, the playbook, the close.
Who it's for — four people, four numbers, one index

Each person gets the one number they are judged on. Same product, same record.

You are a fit if three things are true: 500 or more people in roles with a system of record (engineering, support, sales, finance, legal, marketing, recruiting, revenue cycle) · AI tools already bought for them · a finance lead who closes the month.

"is 2.1× good?"
Fair play — ranked to lift, never to punish

A multiplier is only useful if people trust it. So the rules are written for the person being measured.

The index ranks the enterprise because that is what moves it. It does not become a weapon, because five rules are built in and published on the method page every employee can read.

Rule 1The person sees it first

Every multiplier is shown to the person before anyone else, with what it is made of. They choose who else sees the individual line.

Rule 2The company is ranked by department, team and role

Individual rankings exist only where the company's written policy allows them — and never as the default.

Rule 3Quality first, always

No multiplier rises on work that came back. Volume without quality is held at the rung it earned — which protects the careful person from the fast one.

Rule 4Metadata only

We read events — finished, reopened, reverted, accepted. No documents, code, prompts or messages are stored.

Rule 5Every ranking comes with the playbook

The index never says "do better". It says what the people at the top of your role do, and what it is worth to you. The gap is a lesson, not a verdict.

And the agentsAgents carry the scrutiny

Cost per run, merge rate, defect rate and review level are tracked per agent — because an agent is a tool with a budget, and the people who run it deserve to know which ones are worth it.

Works councilsThe method page, the data posture and the ranking policy are written so that an EU works council can read them and sign. Individual rankings are off until a written policy turns them on, and the person is told.
Your first 90 days — read-only in a day, a signed number by week 10

Nothing changes on day one. You agree the method, we read your systems, the first role gets its playbook, and a finance lead signs the number.

Day 1 · Connect

The X-Ray and the method page

We show every department's multiplier, the seats producing nothing, the 10× people in each role. Together we fix the unit, the quality bar, the baseline and the ranking policy for the first branch on one page.

You give: two meetings · a named finance owner · the ranking policy
Week 2–6 · Measure
The index fills · the playbook forms

Finished units joined to their quality outcome; baselines pre-registered; the first role's top decile read and its playbook drafted. Every person opens their own number first.

You give: one department · one department head
Week 6–10 · The number
Signed cost per unit of work

On one department, with its interval, the ranking of its teams and roles, and the first playbook approved and rolling out. The report is the sale.

You get: a number a finance owner signs · a department ranked · a playbook live
Day 90 · Verdict
Annual, or we publish why not

A signed number exists, and either the department median is up a rung with quality held or the whole company is ranked with every role's playbook drafted → annual.

You decide: renew · expand by branch · stop

The day-90 bar, in the contract. By day 90 a signed cost per unit of work exists on your first department, and either its median multiplier is up with quality held or the whole company is ranked on one ladder with the first playbook live → annual contract and a named case study. Below the bar — the pilot fee is waived and we publish that too. You keep the X-Ray and the method page either way.

Pricing — published, per person, by branch

Priced on the people we put a number on. No savings share. No counterfactual. No overage.

One thing we can both count: people on the index. Branches attach inside the same contract. If the median stops rising with quality held, you stop paying.

Why we do not sell a "with us vs without us" number

A counterfactual is a claim about a world that no longer exists — models change monthly, agents get better weekly, your teams change every quarter — and every renewal becomes a baseline debate. So the proof of value is your own index: the multiplier per department, month over month, quality held, cost per unit reconciled to the invoices you actually pay, under a method you signed before we measured.

Your number — what moving the median is worth to you

Put rough numbers on your company. Then see what one rung is worth.

Most companies discover the same thing: the gap between their median and their own top decile is worth more than any AI vendor's roadmap. A seat count cannot see that. The index can.

The questions every buyer asks

Straight answers, before the call.

Can we start this week, and what does it cost us to try?
Yes. Day one is read-only — API tokens for two systems of record and your AI tools' admin analytics, about an hour of someone's time. Nothing is installed. The X-Ray and the signed cost per unit of work on one department are free and yours to keep; the paid pilot starts only after you have seen the number, at $5K a month, and converts to annual only if the day-90 bar in your contract is met. Three of eight design-partner seats are open.
What is "1× to 10×", exactly?
A multiplier: how many finished units of work a person completes in a month compared with what the role completed before AI — counted only when quality held (not reopened, reverted, corrected, denied or churned), with the cost per unit attached. 1× is the role's own pre-AI baseline, pre-registered from your history. 10× is a person who has changed the job from doing the work to directing and checking it. See the ladder →
Isn't this just an employee leaderboard?
No, and the method page says so in writing. The person sees their own number first and chooses who else sees it; the company is ranked by department, team and role; individual rankings are off until a written policy turns them on and the people are told; no multiplier rises on work that came back; and every ranking comes with the playbook for the role. Ranked to lift, never to punish. The five rules →
Which roles can be measured?
Any role with a system of record that already says "finished" and already says "it came back": engineering, support, sales, finance and AP, legal, marketing, recruiting, healthcare revenue cycle today; operations, procurement, claims, underwriting and clinical documentation on the same pattern. Roles without such a system are not on the index — we do not estimate.
How is this different from the engineering-metrics tools we already run?
Keep them — we export to them. Those tools count what humans did in Git and correlate it with AI seats, in one department. VibeSense puts engineers and coding agents on one ladder, prices every merged PR all-in, acts on it — and does the same thing in seven other departments on one index the CEO and the CFO both read. The Software Intelligence branch →
How often does the number update?
Every day. Each person's multiplier, quality and next step refresh daily from the systems of record; department heads get movers and holds every Monday; the ranking is live all month and frozen at month-end, when the close is signed by finance. Nothing waits for a quarterly survey.
Do our people have to change how they work, or install anything?
No. Nothing is installed on a laptop and nobody fills in a timesheet or a survey. VibeSense reads the systems that already record finished work and the admin analytics your AI tools already expose. The only thing people see is their own number and their next step — in Slack, Teams or email, where they already are.
We only have one or two of these systems. Does it still work?
Yes — start with the department whose system of record you have. One system that says "finished" and one that says "it came back" is enough for a branch; GitHub + Jira, Zendesk alone, or Salesforce alone each qualify. Departments without a system of record are simply not on the index until they have one; we do not estimate.
Where does the playbook come from?
From your own top decile. We read what the people at the top of each role do differently with AI — what they delegate, how they verify, what they never hand to a model — and turn it into the next three steps for everyone else. Each step is proven on the people who adopt it, with its quality effect measured; any step that hurts quality is withdrawn. The department head approves every version.
Will an auditor accept the number?
The method is agreed and signed before measurement; finished units and quality outcomes are read from your systems of record; baselines are pre-registered from your history; loaded rates come from HR; AI spend reconciles to invoices; the close is maker/checker with a tamper-evident period. No AI model sits in the decision path.
What does VibeSense touch on day one?
Nothing in anyone's way. Day one is read-only: events from your systems of record plus the admin analytics your AI tools already expose. Nothing is installed on a laptop. There is no security review to start, because nothing changes.
Where does our data live?
Metadata only by default — no documents, code, prompts or messages retained. VPC or self-hosted data plane; data residency; signed releases.
What does it cost, in one paragraph?
Index: $15 per person per month, floor $30K a year ◌ — every role with a system of record, the ranking, the person view, the playbooks, the benchmark. Software Intelligence branch: +$25 per engineer and $50 per agent per month. Economics add-on +$40–150K a year. No savings share, no overage, no individual ranking by default. Design partners: pilot at $5K a month, pricing locked for three years, the day-90 bar in writing.
