The passage around this formula
An intention gap is a task measurement. An agent niche is a performance region conditioned on a budget. Let denote the independently measured human task horizon in active minutes, not the number of agent tool calls. This follows the useful discipline in HCAST and the time-horizon work: human duration can calibrate a task scale, although it is not a complete measure of what the task means [ 5 , 4 ] . Keep separate from . A task can have many consequential transitions and still take little expert time; a task can take hours because of a slow feedback loop while making few intention choices.
