Usage Lies - What Actually Proves an Internal AI Tool Works

Our telemetry dashboard was green — a bug-fixer skill firing hundreds of times a week, a test-coverage agent running on every diff, manual-tester agents driving browser test cases across products, security reviews kicking off across teams, daily active users climbing. And I still couldn't answer one question: did any of it make us better? Every usage metric was lying. This talk is how we drove real adoption of an internal AI plugin marketplace across 30+ engineering teams — hands-on workshops and embedded champions — and how we now measure what actually matters: fewer bugs, faster cycles, less busywork, not call counts.
