Human leverage

Insights · Workspace

How much agent execution is produced per human director. Low leverage is a direction problem, not an agent problem.

Leverage ratio

Total agent execution hours produced per active human director in the window.

Healthy

A small number of directors producing a large and growing volume of agent execution. The ratio improves over time as objective quality increases and agents run more efficiently.

Watch for

Low or flat leverage with multiple directors active. Either objectives are cycling through rework (direction quality), or agents aren't being run frequently enough (utilization). Stage latency helps tell the two apart.

Concurrency

The number of objectives in flight simultaneously.

Healthy

Multiple objectives flowing in parallel — agents executing while others are in review or pickup. A team of two or three directors can sustainably run three to five objectives concurrently.

Watch for

Concurrency consistently at 1. The team is running objectives sequentially when agents have capacity for more. Increasing concurrency is almost always the fastest path to higher throughput without adding people.
