The run counts, published.
Completed runs, failed runs and discarded files, counted by seat.
One number, with its denominator.
Across 144 recorded runs since Jul, 21 2026, 128 completed and 16 failed. That is a completion rate of 88.9 percent, over a small number of runs, recorded by the org being measured. Both of those caveats belong next to the number, so here they are, next to the number.
A completed run is one whose output survived the workflow’s completion gate. A failed run died in the guard gauntlet or was cut off before it landed. The discard counter, 96, is a different unit from either and is never added to them: a discard is a file an agent changed outside its effective keep set, erased when the tree was reset before the commit rather than shipped. No panel judges a discard. And the counter is an aggregate, not a count of distinct files: the advisory panel isolates once for all of its observers and writes the same panel-wide file count into every observer’s row, so one file can be counted several times over. Separately, 73 proposed lessons were held for human review.
Counted
Every seat, on the record.
The rows are appended by the org’s own workflows when a run ends, not written by hand, and this table is aggregated from them on every build. Seats keep their working names.

Counted
The baseline is frozen.
The opening baseline was frozen at first publication, 2026 Q3, and is never regenerated. Every later edition of this page is measured against that origin, which is what makes the series a series instead of a number that quietly rewrites its own history.
