Nine tasks. May 25, 2026 weighted to 25.3x leverage across 59.5 human-equivalent hours in 141 Claude-minutes. Supervisory leverage closed at 142.8x.
1.5 weeks of human-equivalent throughput in 2.4 hours of Claude wall-clock. The 33.6x ceiling came from Synthesis pipeline: prompt caching + Anthropic Batches API integration across synthesis scripts in core/an inference engine (1649 LOC, 5 files); the 12.0x floor sat at core/an inference engine: autopilotservice legacy coverage-damping ceiling lifted + bulkamplifyfleet and bulkbackfillrecall customid format fix with error logging.

Analysis
The day's leverage distribution matters more than the headline figure. The 33.6x ceiling came from Synthesis pipeline: prompt caching + Anthropic Batches API integration across synthesis scripts in core/an inference engine (1649 LOC, 5 files); the 12.0x floor was core/an inference engine: autopilotservice legacy coverage-damping ceiling lifted + bulkamplifyfleet and bulkbackfillrecall customid format fix with error.... 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 (142.8x 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 9 tasks, the day produced roughly 1.5 weeks of senior-engineer-equivalent throughput in 2.4 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.
