Adds one entry to the Developer productivity and devexp section:
Why it fits
The section already collects work on measuring developer productivity (Martin Fowler's "Measuring Developer Productivity via Humans", the DORA report, "DevEx: What Actually Drives Productivity"). This piece extends that to the AI era: it argues velocity and lines-of-code stopped working as proxies once AI entered the loop, and proposes cost-per-verified-outcome (CPVO) — team-tagged AI spend divided by outcomes that shipped and stayed shipped — plus review-tax and verified-share as a team-level dashboard. It deliberately keeps measurement at team altitude to avoid per-person leaderboards, which also connects to the repo's FinOps (cost) theme.
Single-line addition (with sub-bullets matching the section's existing style); no other entries touched.
