The impossibility of measuring AI productivity

I wanted a way to tell whether AI was making work better. I ended up arguing with ticket counts, cost accounting and my own assumptions. This is the method I would test, and the long list of reasons to be careful with it.

Buy tokens, rent GPUs, or own the rack?

Open-weight models are now good enough to make self-hosting a financial question rather than a capability one. I modelled four options, an office rack, colocation, rented GPUs and per-token APIs, to find where each one actually wins. The answer turns on utilisation, and it isn't the one the internet keeps giving.

Practical questions

What to know before you start.

Is workforce planning a separate Flowstate product?

Flowstate Workforce brings your people, agents, commitments and budgets into a view of today’s work and a plan you can compare with what actually happened. Where your process needs more, such as matching skills to upcoming demand, we build it around your systems.

Can we compare a hire with moving existing capacity?

Yes, a scenario can compare cost, skills, availability and timing. Keep the assumptions visible and save alternatives separately from the approved plan until an owner decides.
