Tokenmaxxing Makes AI Usage Look Productive Until the Bill Arrives
40radar
AI usage volume is becoming a bad stand-in for output. Track shipped work, saved hours, and unit cost instead; raw token counts are noise.
- Companies pushed staff to use AI more, then discovered
token usagemeasures activity, not business output. - High token volume can mean useful automation or messy prompting. Without outcome metrics, the bill rises before ROI is clear.
- Better dashboard: cost per task, accepted output rate, saved support/dev time, and revenue impact. Tokens alone mislead.
