Why AI Tools Aren't Making Your Team Faster

You invested in AI. Adoption is high. Your developers love it. But delivery timelines haven't budged. This whitepaper explains why, with the data to back it up.

The Disconnect

Three numbers that don't add up

Faros AI, 2025

If AI is making code faster to write, why isn't software faster to ship?

The Real Bottleneck

Coding is only 16% of the problem

Developers spend only 16% of their time actually writing code. The other 84% is where delivery stalls.

Atlassian State of Developer Experience, 2025

The whitepaper identifies five hidden taxes your team pays on every unit of work. They compound silently, and most teams have never measured them.

We quantify each one, show how they stack, and model what happens when you compress them. The math is not what most leaders expect.

The Cost

What the 84% cost a 20-person team

0to0hours lost / month

That's 4 to 7 engineers' worth of capacity lost to waste.

The whitepaper breaks down the math, shows how the taxes compound, and models what compression could recover for your team.
