Claim: In the same BCG study, consultants using AI on tasks beyond its capability were 19 percentage points less likely to get correct answers than those working without AI.

BLUF: Substantially confirmed. The BCG study found consultants using AI on tasks outside the frontier performed worse. Some sources report 19 percentage points, others report 20% worse. The exact figure may vary by metric (percentage points vs. percentage). The core finding of degraded performance outside the frontier is robust.

Probability: Very likely (80-95%) | Confidence: High
