Every vendor's dashboard says their tool is essential. Surveys tell you what people think you want to hear. Pyx measures what actually got done — the same people, before and after each tool — so you know which AI to keep, shrink, or cut.
Every dollar traces to a person, a tool, and a matter.
No vendor dashboard, no survey, no screen monitor. We compare the same people doing the same kind of work — before a tool went in, and after — and measure what actually got done.
Vendor dashboards are biased. Surveys are unreliable. Screen-time trackers are invasive and measure the wrong thing. Engineering-metrics platforms only see engineers. Nothing else measures the work itself, before and after, for everyone.
Managers see their team. Team leads see their tools. The CFO sees the aggregate. Every number rolls up from the same per-person measurement — so the decision to roll a tool out, hold it back, or pull it from one team is made on what actually got done.
| Tool | Action | Impact / yr | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kira Systems | Kill | $396K | People work at half the speed of peers using it. Almost nobody actually uses it. |
| Casetext | Kill | $84K | Net-negative, and deprecated by the vendor anyway. |
| LegacyDocAI | Kill | $47K | Zero uses in 90 days. Dormant seats. |
| CoCounsel | Shrink | $250K | Adds cleanup time per use. Only 12 identified power users are net positive; cut the rest. |
| Gong AI | Shrink | $87K | On a third of summaries, the same person invokes the AI and "reviews" it within minutes. That's not a real review. |
| SFDC Einstein | Negotiate | Target −30% | Renewal inside 34 days. Counter-proposal packet ready. |
| Ironclad Playbook | Negotiate | Target −20% | Renewal inside 62 days. Usage supports a smaller commitment. |
Every recommendation carries its defense trail — the person, the tool, the work. Export the list, send it to the CFO, hand procurement the packet.
Each time someone uses an AI tool, Pyx writes one signed record — sensed, resolved to a matter, recorded, signed, checked, and appended to a log that can't be edited after the fact.
| AI-tool uses | Captured |
| Work-product events | Captured |
| Time at desk | Blocked in code |
| Keystroke logging | Blocked in code |
| Screen contents | Blocked in code |
| Per-minute session tracking | Blocked in code |
No AI vendor can block it, throttle it, or shade the numbers in their favor — because it doesn't depend on any vendor's data.
Seven provisional applications filed with the USPTO on how the work is captured, signed, and measured.
No time-at-desk, no keystrokes, no screen capture — those are blocked in code. It measures the work, not the person.
The tools being measured guess. The measurement does not. The same evidence produces the same number every time.
Built to sit underneath the platforms firms already run — not another dashboard on top of self-reported time.
