Productivity Arbitrage [PRO]

Term code: AUG-0091 · Discipline: Agentic AI (Verification) (AV) · Period: 3 · Language: en

Description

The observed difference in task efficiency between AI-assisted and unassisted work processes for comparable tasks. It is a relational quantity comparing two performance conditions, not an event or feeling.

Operational definition

RATIO. Numerator: output or task units completed under the AI-assisted condition per unit time. Denominator: the same measure under a matched unassisted baseline. Values above 1 indicate an efficiency advantage; computed on matched task sets.

Measurement schema

Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Within-subject A/B timing study on matched tasks: throughput (tasks per hour) AI-assisted vs. unassisted, could be reported as a ratio with confidence interval; quality held constant via a fixed acceptance rubric so speed gains are not quality losses.
