Reporting Use Cases

The Pull requests merged field is the strongest outcome signal available: AI work that a team accepted into the codebase.

  • Merge rate of AI work: SUM(pull_requests_merged) / SUM(pull_requests_created) shows what share of autonomous work survives review.

  • The measure to report upward: Merged pull requests are far harder to argue with than suggestion counts or lines of code.

  • Counts authorship, not review: Only pull requests the assistant wrote and that were then merged are counted. Pull requests it merely reviewed are not.

  • GitHub Copilot only: No other provider publishes a merge count today.
