Human Time vs Machine Time: Keep the Clocks Separate

A long-scroll visual companion to the article. It summarizes the article evidence boundary and method; it does not extend the underlying result.

Elapsed wall time, machine attempt time, queue/wait time, and human effort answer different economic questions.

Evidence in scope

  • Record setup and review separately
  • Record auth and resource waits
  • Keep overlap and wall time distinct

Evidence boundary: No comparable human active-minute series is available for the Pro 100 or workflow observations.

How to use the diagram

Use timestamped event categories with overlap rules, same job identity, retry outcomes, and a verifier-passed denominator.

What this visual explains: Elapsed wall time, machine attempt time, queue/wait time, and human effort answer different economic questions.

What it does not establish

No time saved, autonomy rate, or human-to-machine efficiency ratio is measured.
