My guess is they will settle for 2x the productivity as a before-AI developer as their skill floor, but then not take a look at how long meetings and other processes take.

Why not look at Bob who takes like 2 weeks to write tickets on what they actually want in a feature? Or Alice who's really slow getting Figma designs done and validated? How nice would having a "someone's bothered a developer" metric be and having the business seek to get that to zero and talk very loudly about it as they have about developers?

Because everyone who bothers the developers is actually in charge, and they would never want to reduce their utilization, all of this removal of need to focus on the code makes them excited that you can be in even more meetings.
