Every engineer, in one week.
- Day 1
You write one question
Where does AI help our engineers, and where does it get in the way? Sona8 reads your AI policy and tool setup first.
- Days 2 to 4
Interviews at scale
10 to 20 minutes each, by phone or in the browser. Engineers walk through a recent task and how they used AI on it.
- Day 5
You read the blockers and the habits
Collected per team, with the sentences behind every statement.
- After
You ask again
After you change a rule or a review step, same question, same themes. Add your usage data to aim the next interviews.
