AI attribution readiness assessment - WhoWorked

Capture

Whether AI involvement is recorded at all, and by everyone.

When someone uses AI on client work, where does that get recorded?

Nowhere. You would have to ask them.In notes or chat, if it happens to come up.In a shared field on the work item, most of the time.Automatically, from the tools themselves.

How consistent is that recording across the team?

It depends entirely on the person.A few people do it well and the rest do not.Most client work has it.It is required, and the gaps are visible without asking.

Linkage

Whether the record attaches to a deliverable and to human hours.

Can you see AI contribution for a single deliverable or workstream?

No.Only by asking the people who worked on it.For projects where someone set it up deliberately.For any project, from the same record as the human time.

Where does AI work sit relative to logged human hours?

They are not recorded in the same place at all.Separate tools, joined by hand when someone needs it.One system, but different reports that rarely meet.One record: hours and AI contribution on the same workstream.

Review

Whether a named person checked the work, and what they checked.

For client-facing work with material AI contribution, is the review recorded?

Review happens, but nothing records that it did.Informally, for example an approval message in chat.On the work item, for most client-facing work.Always, with the reviewer named and the outcome recorded.

Could you say what a review checked, six months later?

No.We could reconstruct some of it by asking around.For the important work, yes.Yes, the checks are recorded against the deliverable.

Reporting

Whether the record can answer a question someone actually asks.

If a client asked how AI was used on their project, how long would the answer take?

Days, and it would still be an estimate.Hours of manual assembly from several places.Minutes, from a report someone maintains.Immediately, from something you could show them.

Which of these could you answer for last quarter?

None of them.Roughly how much AI the firm used in total.AI-assisted share, broken down by project or workstream.Share, review coverage, and cost per delivered outcome.

Privacy

Whether measurement stays about work rather than about people.

What does your AI record contain about individuals?

We have not decided what is in or out of scope.Whatever the tools collect by default, including per-person activity.Named owners for accountability, with no activity monitoring.The same, plus a written rule on what is never collected.

Do people know what is recorded about their work, and why?

No, and some of them would be uncomfortable if they did.Some do, informally.It is documented somewhere they could find it.Documented, communicated, and the reports read by workstream.

Client disclosure

Whether clients know how AI is used on work they pay for.

What do clients know about AI use on their work?

Nothing specific. It has not come up.We answer honestly when they ask.It is covered at contract or kickoff for new work.Each project carries a disclosure that is kept current.

Is there an agreed position on AI in your commercial terms?

No.A general clause nobody has tested against a real case.Agreed internally and applied client by client.Written, applied to subcontractors too, and reviewed periodically.
