Signals & Insights
Delivery health
Signals · ProjectPass rate, cycle time, and stage latency tell you where time goes and whether objectives are ready to run.
Pass rate
The percentage of completed objectives accepted on first review.
Healthy
Rate is above 70–80%. Objectives are well-scoped, acceptance criteria are explicit, and agents execute against clear expectations without needing a second attempt.
Watch for
Rate below 60% or declining. Almost always a direction problem — objectives are ambiguous, over-scoped, or the definition of done isn't explicit enough. Audit rejected objectives before adjusting agent configuration.
Cycle time
How long from objective creation to acceptance.
Healthy
Objectives complete in hours to a few days, consistently across similar work. Cycle time is predictable and doesn't surprise the team.
Watch for
Cycle times drifting toward weeks, or high variance between similar objectives. Usually signals objectives are too broad, or a systemic delay is accumulating at one handoff stage.
Stage latency
Cycle time split into three stages: pickup (scheduled → in progress), execution (in progress → acceptance), and review (acceptance → done).
Healthy
Pickup is short — objectives are claimed quickly after scheduling. Execution is proportional to complexity. Review is fast — humans are not the bottleneck.
Watch for
Long pickup means agents aren't running frequently enough. Long execution means mid-run ambiguity or scope expansion. Long review is the most common agentic bottleneck: agents ship in hours, but throughput is capped by how fast humans approve.
