Claim: The DORA 2025 report found individual developers using AI completed 21% more tasks and merged 98% more pull requests, but organizational delivery metrics stayed flat.
BLUF: Partially correct. The AI Productivity Paradox is confirmed, but the 21%/98% figures come from Faros AI research, not directly from DORA. DORA confirms the general pattern but with different specific numbers.
Probability: Likely (55-80%) | Confidence: Medium
