Top-level fields

FieldWhat it holds
generated_at, statusWhen it was generated and whether the report was FINAL or DRAFT.
windowFirst and last merge of a pipeline PR, and the days between.
cohortsMerged counts, lines added and deleted, and median size for the pipeline’s PRs and the human PRs on the same repository.
autonomyThe three merge routes (pipeline, hand, unrecorded): PR count, share with its 95% interval, and median hours from opened to merged.
baselineThe human cohort’s PR count and reverts, measured the same way.
escapesReverts with their interval; later-issue candidates and how many were confirmed; post-merge gate events split real and flake; how many of those rulings were accepted on an agent’s reasoning.
funnelDistinct issues by best outcome, the merged rate and interval, attempts, and time from first drive to merge.
auditThe frozen sample (size, seed, population, strata), the auditor’s answers, flags and rulings as counts, precision, miss rate, agreement, confirmed problems, and the weekly split.
costCoverage, tokens and API-equivalent dollars per merged PR, total spend, and the share of tokens on work that did or did not merge.
claims, limitsThe generated summary sentences and the generated limits, verbatim.

Conventions

  • Intervals are 95% Wilson score intervals, as [low, high] on 0 to 1.
  • Shares and rates are fractions on 0 to 1; the pages format them as percentages.
  • null means the figure could not be computed from the evidence. It is never zero.
  • Hours are medians, which is why a pipeline merge shows as a fraction of an hour.

EscapeA problem found after a merge.
CandidateA possible escape that a script found and a person has not yet ruled on.
RulingA signed, explained yes or no on whether a finding is a real problem, bound to the audit it was made on.
Provisional rulingAn agent’s proposed ruling, shown beside the numbers and counted in none of them.
Accepted rulingA person’s signature on an agent’s written reasoning, without re-deriving it. Always disclosed.
Spot-checkA seeded random pick of PRs the auditor called clean, checked to measure what it missed.
