Twenty-one tasks. April 30, 2026 weighted to 12.1x leverage across 222.0 human-equivalent hours in 1099 Claude-minutes. Testing dominated the day's volume. Supervisory leverage closed at 208.1x.
The day's ceiling was 26.7x (40h human in 90 Claude-minutes) on web client fixes: testimonial modal a content generator streaming generator + ToS deep link, in-dashboard subscription purchase modal with monthly/annual toggle. The floor was 4.3x on cloud-fidelity all-deferred sweep: Tabs+ConsoleTable for AWS/Azure/GCP via ThemedConsoleTable shared impl + custom-div Tabs (3 vendors) + ServiceIcon component . Median Claude-minutes per task: 18; median human-equivalent hours per task: 4.

Analysis
The day's leverage distribution is the part that matters more than the headline figure. 0 tasks cleared the 30x threshold; 2 tasks ran below 5x. The 30x+ tier is what produces the impression that AI changes the time-cost curve; the sub-5x tier is what reminds anyone watching that some work is still gated by human review and cannot speed up arbitrarily.
Top-of-distribution tasks tend to share a shape: tightly-scoped, well-specified, with no integration ambiguity. On April 30, 2026 the 26.7x ceiling came from web client fixes: testimonial modal a content generator streaming generator + ToS deep link, in-dashboard subs. The work fit cleanly into 90 Claude-minutes because the inputs and the success criterion were both explicit; the AI was not required to discover anything new. That shape is repeatable; tasks like it post 30x to 60x consistently across the recent log.
Bottom-of-distribution work runs differently. The 4.3x floor on cloud-fidelity all-deferred sweep: Tabs+ConsoleTable for AWS/Azure/GCP via ThemedConsoleTable shared impl + cu reflects real human review per checkpoint, often serial because each step depends on the previous one. The supervisory ratio (208x weighted today) tracks differently: it captures how much human prompt-writing time the day's output consumed, and it stays high even on lower-leverage days because supervisory minutes scale roughly with task count, not with human-equivalent hours.
