Leverage Record: June 3, 2026

Nine tasks. June 3, 2026 weighted to 41.0x leverage across 617.5 human-equivalent hours in 904 Claude-minutes. Supervisory leverage closed at 661.6x.

Nine tasks. June 3, 2026 weighted to 41.0x leverage across 617.5 human-equivalent hours in 904 Claude-minutes. Supervisory leverage closed at 661.6x.

15.4 weeks of human-equivalent throughput in 15.1 hours of Claude wall-clock. The 160.0x ceiling came from Drove all NOT_IMPLEMENTED patent claims to IMPLEMENTED (92->0): 3 net-new 20-claim engines + org-analytics, transformation-drift, multi-tenant, third-party validation, experimentat...; the 5.0x floor sat at Add parent-module subgraph numerals to a patent spec's diagram figures.

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 160.0x ceiling came from Drove all NOT_IMPLEMENTED patent claims to IMPLEMENTED (92->0): 3 net-new 20-claim engines + org-analytics, transformation-drift, multi-tenant, third-party vali...; the 5.0x floor was Add parent-module subgraph numerals to a patent spec's diagram figures. 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 (661.6x 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 9 tasks, the day produced roughly 15.4 weeks of senior-engineer-equivalent throughput in 15.1 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.
