Two tasks. June 21, 2026 weighted to 162.2x leverage across 1014.0 human-equivalent hours in 375 Claude-minutes. Supervisory leverage closed at 3042.0x.

25.4 weeks of human-equivalent throughput in 6.2 hours of Claude wall-clock.

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 200.0x ceiling came from An infrastructure-provisioning tool: 10 patent-grade inventions implemented end-to-end (all phases); engines, 11 Alembic migrations, WebSocket+MCP parity, 9 Eve...; the 11.2x floor was Make 30 beta content-domain packages production-ready: pair-id coverage, orphan-question realignment, duplicate-option fix, tier-coverage generation, validation.... 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 (3042.0x 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 2 tasks, the day produced roughly 25.4 weeks of senior-engineer-equivalent throughput in 6.2 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.
