Q1 Productivity — Summary
Q1 Productivity is the direct, measurable operational gain from an AI capability. It focuses on:
- Labour-time savings (hours removed from a workflow)
- Throughput increases (more work units per unit time)
DEFINITION
Canonical ROAI return category 1 of 4. Time saved per matter, throughput per lawyer, capacity freed for higher-value work. Typically the smallest of the four return categories (15–30% of total ROAI). Visible at the first quarterly review — the shortest time horizon. The CFO's question on the dashboard.
