Cost per unit of delivered work: what your AI and agent spend actually produced, scored in delivery points. Adoption and activity are not part of it. How is this different from tracking AI spend? Spend is the input. Pensero measures the output and prices the return, so you see which spend paid off and which produced nothing. How do you know what good looks like? Pensero compares your teams with similar organizations, using a benchmark built from the delivered work of 5,000+ contributors. What does it take to get a baseline? Connect your tools. The baseline is live from day one, with no instrumentation project and no change to how your teams work. Does Pensero manage agents or only report on them? Both. Pensero pinpoints what to keep human and where each agent fits, and in the Agentic Transformation Program our team helps you make those changes. ## More on Pensero's platform - [Next moves →What to improve, why, and what to do next](/platform/next-moves) - [AI Deployment →Adoption, output and quality of AI](/platform/ai-intelligence) - [Delivery Intelligence →Output and flow by source](/platform/delivery-intelligence) - [Benchmarking →Compare teams, agents and models](/platform/talent-benchmarking) - [Code Quality →Defects and rework by source](/platform/code-quality) - [CapEx & Finance →Capitalization and spend allocation](/platform/capex-analysis) - [Pensero MCP →Your next moves in any assistant](/platform/mcp) - [Not sure where to start?Book a scoping session →](/book-demo) Next step ## See what your AI spend returns Your cost per delivery point by type of work: human-only, AI-assisted, AI-augmented review and agentic.
