Question

Can AI review materially improve pull-request quality without increasing review noise?

Background

This experiment compares AI-assisted and human-only review outcomes in active enterprise repositories.

The focus is whether signal quality increases without shifting effort into triaging low-value comments.

Abandoned outcomes are valid if the workflow cannot improve quality at acceptable review cost.

What I want to measure

  • true positives
  • false positives
  • issue severity
  • security findings
  • architecture findings
  • maintainability findings
  • review effort
  • human findings missed by AI
  • AI findings missed by humans
