# AI Effectiveness

> What's on each tab of AI Effectiveness. The AI Effectiveness Index on Overview, Reach and Habit on Adoption, and team human state on Human state

**AI Effectiveness**, under **Teams** at [synapse.synheart.ai](https://synapse.synheart.ai), shows how AI is working for a team: who uses it, whether work moves differently, and how people are doing. Everyone with a seat can open it. Members see their own department. Leads and Admins see the whole organization and can open any department.

If the terms on this page are new, read [How Synapse works](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/how-synapse-works.md) first.

## The top of the page

These controls stay in place on every tab.

* **Scope badge.** Next to the title, it says what you're looking at: **Company** or a department's name.
* **Period.** Choose **Today**, **7 days**, **30 days** or **90 days**. Every figure, and every "vs the previous…" comparison, follows it.
* **Refresh** reloads the figures. **Updated** shows when they were last loaded.
* **Export** downloads the team figures as a CSV, for Leads and Admins. See [Exports](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/exports.md).
* **Set up Synapse** appears until your organization finishes setting up. It shows the next step, such as connecting GitHub or choosing knowledge sources, and links to the [setup guide](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/admin-setup.md).

## Overview

Overview shows the [AI Effectiveness Index](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/how-synapse-works.md#the-ai-effectiveness-index) as three cards side by side, one for each part. They're separate measures. Don't add them up or compare one with another. Each card opens its own tab.

![The Overview tab of AI Effectiveness, showing the Adoption, Delivery and Human cards and the Synapse use section](https://mintcdn.com/synheartai/bIbSKNEqulE95GhK/images/synapse/ai-effectiveness-overview.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=bIbSKNEqulE95GhK\&q=85\&s=70b55a0bda182e9c2e7ddf080785b0aa)

Overview, with the AI Effectiveness Index and Synapse use

| Card | The big number | The line under it |
| - | - | - |
| **Adoption** | **Reach**, the share of measured members who used AI | **Habit**, the share of worked days with AI use |
| **Delivery** | The change in median PR lead time after an AI tool's rollout | Which measure and tool, such as *PR lead time · GitHub Copilot* |
| **Human** | Team focus, as a work-hour median | How many members opted in |

Arrows such as **↓ better** say which way is good for that measure. For PR lead time, a negative change means PRs merged faster after the rollout.

The **Delivery** card needs a recorded AI rollout. Until there is one, it says *No AI rollout recorded yet* rather than showing a number. If the newest rollout is still inside its 4-week "after" window, the card says so and shows the last complete one.

**Synapse use**, below the index, shows **People using Synapse** and **Synapse calls**: how many people and how many calls went through Synapse MCP in the period, with the change from the previous one.

## Adoption

Adoption answers "who uses AI tools, and how often?" It's labelled **Describe**: it counts use, and doesn't say whether AI helped.

![The Adoption tab, showing Reach, Habit and Members measured cards above a table of AI sources with their reach and member coverage](https://mintcdn.com/synheartai/bIbSKNEqulE95GhK/images/synapse/ai-effectiveness-adoption.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=bIbSKNEqulE95GhK\&q=85\&s=b34c051effc70c2bcc907c1a9489405a)

Adoption, with Reach, Habit and the by-source table

* **Reach.** The share of measured members who used any AI tool in the period.
* **Habit.** The share of worked days on which people used AI.
* **Members measured.** How many members Synapse has AI data for. Reach and Habit are shares of these people, not of everyone in the team.

The **source** table shows the same thing tool by tool:

* **Reach** is the share of members covered by that tool who used it.
* **Member coverage** is how many of the team's members that tool reports on. A tool that reports use without saying who it covers shows *Reports use only; coverage unknown*.

One person counts once in the overall Reach, even if they use several tools. That's why the overall figure can be lower than a single tool's.

Further down:

* **AI tools in use** shows active people by tool and links to **AI usage** for the full breakdown.
* **Synapse** shows calls through Synapse MCP over time (daily, weekly or monthly) and **Top Synapse clients**, the AI clients that made those calls.

## Delivery

Delivery shows the work your organization shipped and how AI shows up in merged PRs: lead time, deploys, review times, CI, and Repository AI evidence. It's labelled **Associate**: a change alongside AI use isn't proof that AI caused it.

Every metric on this tab is explained in [Metrics explained](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/metrics.md).

## Human state

Human state shows how people are doing during work, from members who connected Life by Synheart and consented. It's in **Beta**, and it's never used in alerts, goals, rankings or recommendations.

Human state, with the human part of AEI and all human-state axes

**Human part of AEI** shows the figures behind the Human card on Overview:

* **Focus**, **Cognitive load** and **Mental fatigue**, each as the team's median during work hours. Higher focus is better. Lower load and fatigue are better.
* **Consent coverage**, the share of the team's members who opted in. A low share means the figures describe only part of the team.

**All human-state axes** shows each measure Life provides as an average over worked and focus hours. Because these are averages over different hours, they won't match the work-hour medians above. Axes with no data in the period are listed under **No data**. Scores run from 0 to 1. **Private** means too few people share that axis to show it.

Further down:

* **Work rhythm** shows **Deep work** and **Meeting load**: how the team's work time is spent.
* **Human-state loop** follows agent calls through four steps: Synapse calls, calls that asked for human state, calls where a state was available, and calls that led to a directive (guidance to the agent on how to respond). It counts requests, not people.
* **Evidence coverage** shows how much of each input the period has: Synapse MCP, consented human state, and work context.

### When figures are hidden

Human-state figures follow the [cohort floor](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/team-views.md#the-cohort-floor). A footer on every tab says how many people a figure needs. Below that, you'll see a dash or **Private** instead of a number, unless everyone on the team has opted in to [sharing with each other](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/team-views.md#share-my-numbers-with-my-team).

If an admin has turned off [team human-state views](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/team-views.md#team-human-state-views), this tab and the Human card say the views are off. Adoption and Delivery aren't affected.

## Reading it well

* **Read each part on its own.** High adoption with flat delivery is a finding, not a contradiction.
* **Check coverage first.** Members measured, member coverage and consent coverage tell you how much of the team a number speaks for.
* **Look for patterns over periods.** One week is noisy. Compare 30 or 90 days.
* **Don't use it to rate people.** Every figure is a team total, and none of them is a performance score.
