Chaos: The Blue Blob and the Prompt Counter
Discovery: The prompt board was very prominent, the outcome board was very dusty and of course the Blue Blob had a question.
The Blue Blob and the Prompt Counter
A tiny blue explorer finds a shiny scoreboard counting prompts while the outcome dashboard sits nearby gathering dust.
New subject detected
A scoreboard counting prompts daily usage, no one is at the outcome dashboard.
Scene
The Blue Blob finds a shiny scoreboard that says “Prompts This Month.” The number is climbing quickly, next to it is a smaller dusty board labelled “What Changed?”
The dialogue
The AI prompt counter appears to be counted first, the outcome board will be updated after everyone starts using AI.

Useful context
Prompt counts and AI usage metrics are useful signals, but they do not prove value on their own. The work still needs an outcome trail: what improved, what stopped, what cost changed and what got easier or better.
These are Vieews, not bibles, use as basic lenses, not prediction, investment advice, legal advice, or a replacement for doing your own investigation. If a line makes the spreadsheet uncomfortable, excellent, ask one more question, tug on that thread (don't get fired!).
