One vocabulary — every term on this page, read the same by every desk

Every term below reads the same for a Chief Risk Officer, a Staff Engineer and a Reinsurance Underwriter — hover a term for how each desk reads it.

  • rung — one of the three comparison bands a tick is read against — rung 1 (the whole call vs a 1M window), rung 2 (the steering payload beside the spec it steers by — a size the injector chooses, not the bill), rung 3 (a prepared run vs a 1M window).
  • lane — where a placed row landed against the spec declared before it ran: in lane (the row matches the declared spec) or off lane (it does not).
  • break — a tick that fell below 99% on rung 2 or rung 3, counted only over the measured population, with the (rung, cause) pair that produced it.
  • priced row — a row the tape carries a cost_usd for; a row with no cost reads UNMEASURED and is never counted as $0.
  • manifest — the sha that names one backed-up archive — the single identity every reading on the page is read off of.
  • UNMEASURED — the word a field reads when no record answers it — never a zero, never a guess: an absence with its own stated reason.

HOW TO READ IT
LEFT BANK · deployer

How often one task uses more than a given number of tokens: 38 tasks run against a scope declared before they started, 625 without one, 29 Aug – 15 Oct 2026. The typical task is the median; the price of cover is set by the rare one at the far right.

RIGHT BANK · underwriter

One task is a prompt to the change it committed, or one unattended run of a written spec row to the commit it graded; its tokens are the model's input plus cache reads and writes, summed over every model call in it. The axes are log-log: a straight fall is a fat tail.

WHAT IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR
LEFT BANK · deployer

That declaring a scope caused the gap: the declared tasks were not randomised, and the task mix differs between the two arms.

RIGHT BANK · underwriter

What any single future task will cost — this is the record's own tail over 29 Aug – 15 Oct, not a forecast.

THE MITIGATION
LEFT BANK · deployer

Recompute it yourself: node scripts/vna/token-tail.mjs --json.

RIGHT BANK · underwriter

Re-run the snapshot: if the permutation p (now 0.014) rises above 0.05, or the declared worst-5 % share is no longer below the undeclared one, the separation is gone.

  • For the same task mix, the declared tasks used 39 % less in total (p 0.014).
  • The worst 5 % of undeclared tasks carry 34 % of all their tokens, against 14 % declared.
  • Worst task: 15.4M declared, 310.4M undeclared.

HOW TO READ IT
LEFT BANK · deployer

witness lag UNMEASURED — 0 of 2095 deployed rows carry a received_at at or after their closed_at (2095 carry no received_at, 0 flagged witnessed) — the notary's received_at lives on the witness ledger until a witness receipt is folded onto the row

RIGHT BANK · underwriter

The median, with [min, max], of received_at − closed_at over the deployed rows that carry both times; a row received before it closed is clock skew and is not counted.

WHAT IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR
LEFT BANK · deployer

That the lag is gone — this line measures it and removes nothing.

RIGHT BANK · underwriter

A row with no received_at was never witnessed: its lag is UNMEASURED, never 0, and it is not in the median.

THE MITIGATION
LEFT BANK · deployer

Send each deployed row's receipt to the notary; every row that comes back with a received_at joins the median.

Boundary crossingsUNMEASURED

UNMEASURED — this backup carries no odometer tape (data/vna/odometer-tape.ndjson); nothing is counted rather than 0.

One crossing is one followed step of the walk across the fence that was declared before the walk ran. c is how many of those steps this backup records, added up over its commits; each commit's own count is a point on the line above.

k_E = 0.003 is an agreed gauge pinned to that count, the way the metre is pinned to a count of wave cycles: one crossing is charged 3 milli-units, so kE here is 3·c in thousandths, integer arithmetic, the same bytes in Rust and in JS. It is never a rate: nothing is divided by time, by instructions or by cycles.

The count is read off the odometer tape inside this backup, as the one Rust walk emitted it at each commit. Nothing is re-counted on this page, no privileged register is read for it, and a commit the walk did not read stays without a reading, never 0.

What this is sufficient for: how many times the work stepped across its declared fence. What it is not: whether the work was good, which is undecidable (Rice, 1953).

The count is the measurement. Competence is a shape, never this number: where the work landed against its declared lane is drawn as the encircled panel, a picture you read, not a score.

Token readings per tick — the bill vs PLAIN (measured), against a 1M-context run (counterfactual), and the steering payload's footprint (rung 2)

Every chart below draws all 675 ticks, each older tick a dot; the rung-2 chart carries the links (links showing the newest 60 of 675 ticks). Link every tick

2 of 675 ticks crossed 99 % vs the 1M counterfactual · 675 ticks (50 STEER · 625 PLAIN).

How to read these chartsthe legend, the ladder, every break and its cause

Every tick is one point, in time order: one prompt to the commit it produced. ● chat tick · ◆ headless-runner / claude -p tick · one line through the ticks in time order, broken wherever a tick is UNMEASURED · teal above 99 % (the payoff), violet below · the axis reads in nines (90 · 99 · 99.9 · 99.99) · hollow: the decile's baseline rests on under 5 PLAIN ticks · the line: 99 % · two charts: REGULAR (vs PLAIN, MEASURED) and WORST CASE (vs 1M, COUNTERFACTUAL). Drawn from the series you backed up, not from this machine.

2 of 675 ticks crossed 99 % vs the 1M counterfactual (0 of them /steer; 0 ticks UNMEASURED — no PLAIN tick in their decile) · 0 crossed 99 % vs PLAIN · 675 ticks (50 STEER · 625 PLAIN).

The ladder: three charts side by side in severity order, each exact and re-runnable on the record; rungs 2 and 3 are configuration health — a tick below the line is detected with its likely cause, never a gate

configuration health: rung 2 407 of 674 ticks above 99 % (60.4 %) · rung 3 38 of 38 (100.00 %) · rung 1 0 of 675 — 99 % on rung 1 would be news. Where each rung stands against the 99 % claim: rung 1 the best 20 % of ticks reach 88.1 % — 10.9 points below the 99.00 % claim · rung 2 the best 20 % of ticks reach 99.84 % — 0.84 points above the 99.00 % claim · rung 3 the best 20 % of ticks reach 99.71 % — 0.71 points above the 99.00 % claim.

RUNG 2 · STEERING PAYLOAD FOOTPRINT — the steering payload beside the spec it steers by — how small the steering payload is beside the spec corpus it stands in for — a size the injector chooses, never the bill (the engineer's question) · 1 − Σ over the tick's calls of (hook_additional_context tokens live at that call, since the last /clear or compaction) ÷ (calls × min(1,000,000, corpus ÷ 4)) — both sides the same quantity on one bytes÷4 ruler, so a per-token price cancels (C519-P-INVARIANT); no payload served at all reads 0 and is flagged · the best 20 % of ticks reach 99.84 % — 0.84 points above the 99.00 % claim · 407 of 674 ticks at or over 99 % · 407 of 674 ticks cross 99 %

Rung 2 reads the steering payload beside the spec it steers by (1 − payload ÷ corpus) — a size the injector chooses, not the bill. Beside it, the bill vs PLAIN at the same complexity decile: median 2.9 % lower for /steer (n 50, range −7740.7 % to +80.7 %, 27 of 50 cheaper, 0 above 99 %). A larger ratio exists only in the rare best case, against a 1M-token counterfactual window, and nothing here rests on it; rung 2 is never offered as the bill or as proof the work is right.

Which ticks crossed 99 % on the worst case — 2

Prediction, not a promise: the operator expects /steer subagent and -p ticks to cross 99 % against the worst case several times a day. Today: NOT YET MET. Break it: a day of /steer -p ticks whose worst-case savings cross 0.99 at least 3 times, read off this chart. The lever: the per-call floor is Claude Code's own system prompt + CLAUDE.md + brief (≥ 60k tokens), so crossings need a worker that carries the brief alone (C517's local door, or a raw API worker) — a separate row, not assumed here.

Crossings per day (how often, never an average): 2026-09-23: 0 of 15 · 2026-09-24: 0 of 30 · 2026-09-25: 0 of 1 · 2026-09-27: 0 of 7 · 2026-09-28: 0 of 18 · 2026-09-29: 0 of 30 · 2026-09-30: 0 of 1 · 2026-10-01: 0 of 33 · 2026-10-02: 0 of 10 · 2026-10-03: 0 of 1 · 2026-10-04: 0 of 3 · 2026-10-05: 0 of 4 · 2026-10-07: 0 of 1 · 2026-10-08: 0 of 31 · 2026-10-09: 0 of 2 · 2026-10-10: 0 of 35 · 2026-10-11: 0 of 10 · 2026-10-12: 0 of 10 · 2026-10-13: 0 of 7 · 2026-10-14: 0 of 5 · 2026-10-15: 0 of 5

Per week: 2026-W35: 0 of 9 · 2026-W36: 0 of 160 · 2026-W37: 2 of 178 · 2026-W38: 0 of 64 · 2026-W39: 0 of 58 · 2026-W40: 0 of 96 · 2026-W41: 0 of 83 · 2026-W42: 0 of 27

EXPECTED, the 1M counterfactual: EXPECTED(tick) = median calls of the PLAIN ticks in the tick's complexity decile (C510's ruler, both labels ranked together) × 1,000,000 tokens — every call of a 1M-context run carrying the full window; a declared counterfactual, never a run we made

Savings: savings(tick) = 1 − actual ÷ EXPECTED; actual = the tick's input + cache_create + cache_read tokens (cache-weighted also shown: writes ×1.25, reads ×0.1); never averaged over a day or a week — a day or a week is only how many ticks crossed the line in it

WORST CASE baseline: COUNTERFACTUAL — EXPECTED(decile) = median PLAIN calls in the decile × 1,000,000; a declared formula, not a run we made

REGULAR baseline: MEASURED — the PLAIN median actual (input + cache_create + cache_read) of the tick's complexity decile

Share this reading: /backup/adherence?manifest=64e05aeb2d77… — a carrier or CFO reads it without trusting this machine (the series is countersigned where it is held). Not sufficient for: vs 1M is arithmetic against a declared counterfactual, not a run we made · neither line says the work was good (Rice) · the task mix inside a decile is uncontrolled · a price (none pinned, KR40).

How a carrier reads a spec's DEPLOYED readingunder their own key, debited to their licence

Opened by a carrier who holds their OWN registered query key, each spec's read-only URL runs its body signed under THEIR key against POST /api/notary/query — the read is debited to their licence, never to yours. We never print a signature here; a signature in a URL is a credential leaked to logs and Referer headers.

What this page is sufficient for, and what it is notwhere each placement lands; never whether the work was good

HOW MANY of your placements land where, per domain, per spec — read off your backed-up tape (CODING) and your witnessed receipts (DEPLOYED), and re-runnable from them.

Whether any of that work was good is undecidable (Rice, 1953); this page does not claim it and no reading here stands in for it.

Sufficient for: where it landed, re-runnable from the commit: same bytes, same hash. NOT sufficient for: whether the work was good, which is undecidable (Rice, 1953); nothing here claims it. Rice (1953): no program can decide, in general, whether another program is correct.
