A two-panel data visualization titled "Low-quality AI output is common — and it scales into millions in hidden cost." The left panel shows a horizontal stacked bar chart depicting the workforce workslop profile among AI-using workers (n ≈ 952). Segments are color-coded by severity: Heavy (7%, deep crimson), Regular (11%, burnt orange), Occasional (46%, amber), and None (36%, gray-blue). A bracket above the three non-zero segments highlights that 64% of AI-using workers send at least some workslop. The right panel presents a cost cascade in progressively larger typography: 2 hours per incident (average time to resolve), $186 per employee per month (invisible productivity tax), and $9 million per year for a 10,000-person organization (annual organizational cost). A footnote states that 17% of respondents who did not use AI at work are excluded.
