PromptLeash Methodology

Measure transformation without overstating the evidence.

The Adoption Score approach is designed to make adoption and organisational change visible. It distinguishes indicative signals from a verified baseline supported by organisational evidence.

The evidence dimensions

Evidence is organised across five dimensions. No single activity metric is treated as proof of transformation, and each dimension is read in the context of the roles and workflows it describes.

01

Adoption visibility

Who uses AI repeatedly, where, and for which kinds of work.

02

Workforce capability

Whether people can use AI effectively and improve over time.

03

Workflow integration

Whether important work changes rather than simply gaining an optional tool.

04

Governance

Whether responsible-use controls, ownership, and feedback keep pace with adoption.

05

Impact evidence

Whether observed change connects to decisions and relevant business outcomes.

What the Adoption Score measures

The product's displayed indicators are measured from approved AI activity in the customer's environment, such as adoption breadth, prompt and output quality, cost efficiency and compliance. They are produced from observed activity, not from self-reported answers.

Coverage depends on the sources approved and connected in the customer's deployment, so the indicators describe the activity in scope rather than every interaction in the organisation.

Indicative signals versus a verified baseline

An early view built from partial sources is directional. It helps identify where to look next; it is not an independent audit or a verified baseline.

Comparisons in the product use the customer's own context and role potential (how effectively AI is used for the work a role requires) rather than a cross-customer or peer dataset. A role-potential or within-customer comparison is indicative, not a verified peer dataset or benchmark.

A verified baseline should use agreed definitions and relevant organisational evidence, review conflicting signals, document missing data, and make the interpretation available for challenge.

Interpretation principles

  • Access and activity do not, by themselves, demonstrate adoption or impact.
  • Evidence is interpreted in its organisational and workflow context.
  • Missing or weak evidence is made visible rather than converted into false precision.
  • Results should guide the next decision and be reviewed as the organisation changes.

Current limitations

  • PromptLeash does not publish a cross-customer or peer benchmark dataset; product comparisons use the customer's own context and role potential.
  • Transformation outcomes vary by task, organisation, workforce, controls, and implementation quality.
  • Adoption Score evidence should complement, not replace, legal, security, risk, finance, or workforce expertise.
