Eight tasks. May 14, 2026 weighted to 31.1x leverage across 189.0 human-equivalent hours in 365 Claude-minutes. Supervisory leverage closed at 290.8x.
4.7 weeks of human-equivalent throughput in 6.1 hours of Claude wall-clock. The 64.0x ceiling came from Merge an authentication service + a purchase service + an onboarding service + an inference engine-a recruiter product-web backend into an API gateway as separate logical DBs (auth...; the 4.4x floor sat at Content audit run; identified next 10 priority domains; SOA-C02 pair_id linkage repair (12.2% -> 100%); diagnosed cross-domain prereq validator bug; built and launched audit-batch....

Analysis
The day's leverage distribution matters more than the headline figure. The 64.0x ceiling came from Merge an authentication service + a purchase service + an onboarding service + an inference engine-a recruiter product-web backend into an API gateway as separa...; the 4.4x floor was Content audit run; identified next 10 priority domains; SOA-C02 pair_id linkage repair (12.2% -> 100%); diagnosed cross-domain prereq validator bug; built and l.... Tasks at the top of the distribution share a shape: tightly-scoped specifications, clear success criteria, and minimal integration ambiguity. The AI doesn't need to discover anything new; it executes against an explicit target.
Tasks at the bottom run differently. They're either bounded by review-heavy work where every step gets verified, or they involve ambiguity that demands several rounds of trial and adjustment. The factor is real and informative, not a failure mode.
The supervisory leverage figure (290.8x today) tracks something orthogonal to wall-clock leverage. It's the ratio of human-equivalent output to human prompt-writing time. It stays high even on lower-leverage days because supervisory minutes scale with task count, not with the human-hour estimate; a 20-minute task and a 4-hour task can both be specified in two minutes of human prompt-writing.
Across the 8 tasks, the day produced roughly 4.7 weeks of senior-engineer-equivalent throughput in 6.1 hours of model wall-clock. That ratio is the practical answer to the question of how much output a single operator can move per day when the model handles the execution and the operator handles the direction.
