Reporting Use Cases

The Suggestions accepted field is the clearest signal that AI output is actually being used rather than merely produced.

  • Acceptance rate: Pair it with suggestions_offered, or with suggestions_rejected where the provider publishes no offered count.

  • Useful on its own: Accepted suggestions per active developer is a reasonable engagement measure even where no denominator exists.

  • Expect ratios above 100% on single days: Acceptance is recorded on the day it happens, not on the day the suggestion was generated. Use a weekly or longer window.

  • Not the same as code review acceptance: Review suggestions are counted separately in review_suggestions_accepted.
