GAINS™
Prepare your engineering workforce for AI-powered excellence
AI transformation can be hard without an objective benchmark of current usage, impact, potential, and the barriers to productivity gains. Partner with us to build a concrete plan for your engineering organization’s next steps.
$40B invested in GenAI, yet only 5% of enterprises see measurable returns
You’ve rolled out GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Augment, Devin, and others, but fragmented adoption patterns and systemic barriers are preventing your AI gains from scaling.
That's the AI Productivity Paradox we exposed in our viral industry report.
No Clear Strategy
AI initiatives don't have specific goals, rules for how to use AI tools, or plans for helping teams adapt to changes.
Teams Working Alone
Without central support and training, teams miss out on learning important skills and can't share what works with other teams.
Infrastructure Lag
Old software systems, weak testing tools, and manual processes slow teams down when they try to use faster AI-powered workflows.
Can’t Measure Success
Teams don't track the right data throughout their projects, so they can't tell if AI is actually making them more productive or successful.
Go from “Where’s the payoff?” to “There’s the payoff.”
Engineering leaders use GAINS™, the Generative AI Impact Net Score, to benchmark AI maturity, identify organizational friction, and tie AI usage directly to engineering and business outcomes.
1. Where Are You Today?
A synthesized perspective on where you are helps you plan your next steps. We’ll help you capture the current state of AI usage and organizational impact through comprehensive baseline measurement and root cause analysis.
- Evaluate AI tool usage and surface inactive or underused licenses.
- Measure how AI impacts engineering productivity, velocity, and quality across your full portfolio of development efforts.
- See exactly where AI is driving the most value and where it’s falling short.
2. Discover the Art of the Possible
AI transformation requires more than just tools. We’ll help you envision your future state and prioritize the investments and changes to get you there.
- Benchmark your organization against industry leaders and pinpoint internal teams achieving standout results.
- Identify current inhibitors, potential levers, and the intervention points with the biggest upsides.
- Quantify the ROI of each intervention to guide prioritization and investment decisions.
3. Unlock AI’s Potential in 90 Days
Strategy without execution is just aspiration. We'll help you build a concrete roadmap with quick wins, phased implementation, and measurable milestones that deliver real value in your first quarter.
- Receive a detailed, team-specific action plan to address the highest-ROI opportunities.
- Catalyze change through targeted enablement, cross-functional accountability, and executive alignment.
- Measure, iterate, and optimize relentlessly to turn initial interventions into scalable AI value.
- Track KPIs that map AI-augmented performance to measurable business outcomes.
Ten transformation dimensions. One clear action plan.
GAINS leverages interviews, surveys, and—most importantly—live telemetry across your SLDC to measure AI adoption and usage, velocity and flow efficiency, quality and safety, onboarding and platform maturity, organizational structure and strategic alignment.
Each dimension is linked not only to engineering outcomes but to business performance, making GAINS a shared metric that aligns engineering and finance on where value is being created or lost.
