Unsupervised operating windows reach a full working day on constrained tasks
Agent deployments report sustained unsupervised operation on well-specified engineering work, with intervention rates falling below one per eight-hour run.

Agitology analysis
Why it matters
Autonomy is scored on how long a system runs before a human must intervene. A working day is the threshold at which supervision stops being the dominant cost of deployment.
Key developments
- Intervention rate below one per eight-hour run on constrained tasks
- Self-halting on detected failure now more common than silent continuation
- Open-ended tasks still measured in tens of minutes
