A framework from Apoco for recognizing how much AI has improved what a team, department or company gets done – and what to change next.
Productivity here means useful results for the full effort, time, attention and cost they take, review and rework included. The levels rank that benefit, not how advanced the tools are.
- Web page – the six levels, a quick check and one team’s day at each level.
- Reader guide – the levels with examples, a placement exercise and the evidence to look for.
- Levels in detail – full conditions, company examples and evidence rules.
- A4 handout – dark and print.
Issues and pull requests are welcome: counterexamples, clearer wording, and examples from your own teams. Apoco maintains the framework in its own workspace and publishes each release here; accepted pull requests are carried into the next release. Contributions are licensed under the Apache License 2.0.
