Prove your AI investment is actually working.
Stop tracking activity. Start tracking outcomes. Tokenomia translates raw token usage into business-ready attribution.
“Uber burned its entire 2026 AI coding budget in about four months after an internal usage leaderboard rewarded raw token consumption with no way to prove it produced shipped value. That link is not there yet.”
Paraphrased from Uber COO Andrew Macdonald · Fortune, TechCrunch (2026)
Illustrative example — figures shown are for demonstration only, not real customer results.
Goodhart’s Law in the AI Era
When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. We analyzed the fallout from “proxy-only” AI tracking.
Amazon
trending_downAn internal leaderboard nicknamed “Kirorank” led employees to direct AI agents to do unnecessary work just to climb rankings — the industry now calls this “tokenmaxxing.” Amazon shut it down and switched its target metric away from raw token counts.
METR
speedA randomized controlled trial found experienced developers using AI tools were measurably 19% slower on real tasks — yet they still believed afterward they’d been sped up by 20%.
Deloitte
query_statsAn independent survey of 1,854 executives found just 6% of organizations report AI payback within 12 months; most say it takes 2–4 years.
The Synthesis
Activity ≠ Productivity. AI multiplies throughput; Tokenomia ensures it multiplies value.
Beyond Raw Tokens and PR Counts
Legacy dashboards tell you how much AI you’re using. Tokenomia is built to tell you whether that usage is producing real value.
Focus on vanity metrics: prompt counts, LOC, and Copilot adoption percentages.
Aims to connect usage to outcomes: the conversations, topics, and shipped work behind the spend — not just the spend itself.
