Leverage Record: May 30, 2026

Forty-five tasks. May 30, 2026 weighted to 26.0x leverage across 701.8 human-equivalent hours in 1620 Claude-minutes. Supervisory leverage closed at 316.6x.

Forty-five tasks. May 30, 2026 weighted to 26.0x leverage across 701.8 human-equivalent hours in 1620 Claude-minutes. Supervisory leverage closed at 316.6x.

17.5 weeks of human-equivalent throughput in 27.0 hours of Claude wall-clock. The 80.0x ceiling came from Interactive-activity batch 2; 7 interactions x 3 client apps (math/chem/biology/language/history); the 3.3x floor sat at Build rum feature for the desktop client (telemetry/RUM beacon + web-analytics useTrack wiring).

About These Records
These time records capture personal project work done with Claude Code (Anthropic) only. They do not include work done with ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Grok (xAI), or other models, all of which I use extensively. Client work is also excluded, despite being primarily Claude Code. The actual total AI-assisted output for any given day is substantially higher than what appears here.

Analysis

The day's leverage distribution matters more than the headline figure. The 80.0x ceiling came from Interactive-activity batch 2; 7 interactions x 3 client apps (math/chem/biology/language/history); the 3.3x floor was Build rum feature for the desktop client (telemetry/RUM beacon + web-analytics useTrack wiring). 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 (316.6x 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 45 tasks, the day produced roughly 17.5 weeks of senior-engineer-equivalent throughput in 27.0 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.
