Recent changes

DX Core 4 (DXI, Diff Throughput, CFR, Retention) now the published framework. AI Measurement module added 2025 for AI-assisted-development tracking.

The DORA / CFR module

DX uses CFR alongside DXI survey results and Diff Throughput. The framing is ‘system + survey + AI in one model.’ CFR detection follows the standard deploy-and-incident pipeline; the differentiation is the survey + AI Measurement overlay, not the CFR detection itself.

When DX wins

When the executive question is "is our AI-tooling investment paying back" alongside stability metrics. The AI Measurement module is unusually mature for tracking AI-tooling impact on throughput and stability.

When DORA-only is enough

Teams under 200 engineers with no AI-tooling investment usually do not need the DXI survey layer. Sleuth or LinearB at a quarter of the cost will cover the CFR job.
