COMPEL Glossary / adoption-metric

Adoption metric

A leading or lagging indicator of transformation uptake — including training-completion rate, active-usage frequency, productivity delta, and worker-sentiment score.

What this means in practice

Distinct from usage analytics alone: adoption metrics are governance-selected indicators whose thresholds drive go/wait/redesign decisions in an AI Change Plan.

Synonyms
