Mostly infrastructure

2 tasks. August 5, 2026 closed at 9.0x weighted leverage across 26.0 human-equivalent hours in 174 minutes of wall-clock time. Supervisory leverage came in at 222.9x.

That is 0.7 weeks of human-equivalent throughput in 2.9 hours. The ceiling was 14.6x; the floor was 4.8x. The day's work was spread across several areas.

Analysis

The highest factor of the day came in at 14.6x and the lowest at 4.8x, a spread of 3.0 times between the two. That is a narrow range, which tends to happen when a day stays inside one kind of work.

The largest single entry accounted for 18.0 of the 26.0 human-equivalent hours, or 69 percent of the day. One task carrying that much of the total is worth noting; the average is doing less work than it appears to.

Supervisory time was 7 minutes against 174 minutes of execution, a ratio of about 1 to 25. Supervisory leverage of 222.9x is the figure I find most honest, because it measures the hours I actually spent rather than the hours a machine spent on my behalf.

Every figure here is recorded at the time the work is done rather than reconstructed afterwards. The human estimate is my own judgement and carries the uncertainty that implies; the minutes and tokens are measured. The full dataset, including this day, is available for download.
