Worker access to AI rose 50% in 2025. One in five companies has a mature governance model.

That isn’t a gap. That’s a chasm.

We started Frankies Literacy because the chasm matters. Companies pay for AI access at unprecedented rates. They do not measure whether access produces better work. They measure tokens.

Token consumption is a vanity metric. Vanity metrics buy executives slides for the next board meeting. They do not tell a manager whose team is getting better at AI and whose isn’t. They do not tell an employee what to practice tomorrow. They do not tell a CFO where the spend is compounding.

Frankie measures the work itself. Every chat is a small experiment in skill. Frankie scores the skill that was actually exercised, in the role that actually exercised it.

Marketing AI is not software AI. A junior PM uses AI differently than a senior architect. A score that ignores role is a vanity score in disguise.

The companies that close the gap will compound. The ones that don’t will spend a decade wondering why their AI bill went up and their work didn’t.

The product looks like two surfaces. Employees get a coaching nudge each day, drawn from yesterday’s actual chats. Managers get a signal: which skills on the team are slipping, before slipping turns into a missed deadline. A third surface for executives is in development.

We are early. The product is in private access. We are choosing design partners who care about answering one question: how is your company actually using AI?
