How do you prove AI changed the work?
Define the intended change before launch, preserve a relevant baseline, record who or what was exposed, then compare adoption, work-pattern movement, displaced burden, quality and the relevant business driver. Report uncertainty and confounders rather than turning correlation into an outcome claim.

Use this method to decide what evidence must exist before a pilot starts and which result will trigger a keep, adapt, scale, stop or inconclusive decision.
Decision detail
What to check before acting
What must be recorded before launch?
Name the owner, affected cohort, operating problem, proposed change, expected mechanism, expected movement, time horizon, control boundary and comparison basis.
What must be separated after launch?
Keep adoption, observed work-pattern change, business movement and causal confidence distinct. Also inspect rework, exceptions, oversight and burden that appeared elsewhere.
What if the evidence is weak?
Record an inconclusive decision and the missing evidence. Do not convert an incomplete measurement window into a positive claim.
What decision should the review produce?
Choose keep, revise, revert or inconclusive against the pre-agreed target and control boundary. Record why the evidence supports that action and when the next review is due.
