3 Key Points

  1. Weave analyzes employee AI usage effectiveness, using LLMs to evaluate other LLMs' output—creating a black-box analysis within a black-box system

  2. The tool reduces work performance to a single unexplained metric called 'Code output' per week with no clear methodology or unit definition

  3. Company claims dataset comes from expert-level pull requests but provides no transparency on dataset compilation or whether it covers diverse coding backgrounds

  4. Weave offers no bias assurances or proof despite using these metrics for high-stakes firing decisions based on first-hand accounts

  5. Lack of methodological disclosure and validation raises critical concerns about fairness and reliability of performance evaluations
